For your HP range a forged bottom end is not necessary at all. Actually, with only 89k, it should be in pretty good shape. LS's routinely go 200k with normal(and sub-normal...) maintenance. I would check compression and oil pressure. If all is good, run it! But, if paranoid, change the timing set and oil pump, and valve springs and pushrods if changing the cam. (measure for them!)
