@kerrige-I was going to run the arp rod bolts but I didn't, what if the rods are the cracked kind of rods can you still use the arp bolts?
@00shortbox- I might Advanced Induction to spec me a cam to match the heads.

Honestly I don't understand what you mean, but I am pretty sure all stock rods have an option for ARP rod bolts. Its all you really need, until you start making some serious power.

@kerrige- cracked pistons are where they connect around the crank they are not smooth but have been cracked apart. Then there are some that are smooth. If that makes sense.

Big end of the connecting rods are 'cracked' at the foundry instead of machining to create the rod caps. This 'rough' parting surface gives more stability to the rod assembly.
So can you run arp rod bolts or will they have to be refitted and different rod bearings?

IMO you should be able to just replace the bolts. Just follow the recommended torque specs.
