Worth is a relative term.
Do you mean slap them in and not look back ?
Or have them re-conditioned and put good bolts in there ? $
Throwing a lighter rod in an existing motor would necessitate having the rotating assembly re-balanced if I were doing it.......and if you're going that far , then you have reconditioned the rods. $$
Would the rods live ?
I don't see where it would be a problem in a mild build as far as durability goes.
