Default Forged Engine

How much to forge my engine and keep stock cubes? Or would I be better off going ahead and upping cubes if I'm going to forge it?

Well if use the stock crank clean up the bore .005 you'll have a 347 for cheap money vs the added cost of a crank at $750 or there abouts for Eagle.

But after you do all that work and spend that money our right back at the same power levels unless your going with a power add. SO.... thats why a lot of people will spend the money on the crank to see some gains.

Unless of course your running nitrous or a turbo or s/c.

You are looking at around a 1000 or more for good pistons and rods. plus you got rings ~250 and bearings about another ~200 then machine work and assembly

I'm actually probably going to sell my car, but I was thinking if I keep it I'll HAVE to forge it. I beat the **** out of it.


What about stroker kits?
