pulling rods

Removing rods is a delicate matter. A little knick in the crank from a rod stud bumping the crank IS A BIG DEAL.
Delicate and precise handling is key whether in or out of car. If you rush it on an engine stand you will knick the crank....... I have to believe the likelihood of "dinging" the crank increases greatly by doing the job with engine in the car, and twofold when performed by a lesser experienced person.
be aware of risks - just because you manage to jam them in is not an indication of success. I would not consider doing this job in the car and I am fairly seasoned. In a pinch for a race event or something of the sort you do what you have to, but to plan to do the job in the car is using poor judgment IMO

I have not tried it myself, but I will be in a few months when I put in the 951 rods.
This guy said it's possible so I'm just quoting him:

under 968 CS -> turboconverion -> 3rd paragraph
