Yes GX Carbs are retrofittable back to gen 5
Regarding Go Rods in other engines , you will probably find that as long as the engine you want to fit it to has a yoke centre measurement of 29.50 mm there is a good chance it will work. You can also use a Hyper .21 rod in a nova as long as the cranks worn a tad . You can also try using a Force .25 rod in a CMB .21 marine engine they are interchangeable.
Lots ao parts are interchangable as standards are very similar across the board
