yes you can use the standard rods, if the crank has holden journals, and you have to get the block skirts clearanced.

both are important.
never done the Toyota comparison. rods outta toyota what?.

GM engineers bent a chev rod at 90 clockwise twist, and bent it back again.
the rod was then tested, and demonstated it was fine.
not bad.

Just never been a fan of STD
