Default Forged internals?

I estimate that it wil take me a couple years to get my car to where I want. I will probably think about supercharging it in the end, so I am curious about forged internals? If you can, give me a little more details about them and which ones would be the best. Thanks in advance.

whats your budget? for the price and service you cant beat any of the sponsors 346-348 forged shortblocks. my own setup is stock heat treated crank, eagle rods w/ arp rod bolds, custom diamond pistons, diamond rings, Federal Mogul bearings all around, and arp main studs. this is for a high compression n/a setup.

What are the goals for the motor? Street Car? Race Car? Race Car on the street?

In all fairness to other forum sponsors, i can not list what i paid. Also, i bought additional items ( headers, waterpump, ect. ect. ) so a great price was cut. Yes, the lunati kit can be considered overkill because of the Crank, but i had the money and figured to spare no expense. I still suggest you call and try to work something out. Prices over the phone or email tend to be lower
