Some seem to be fine with just arp rod bolts on a stock bottom end if he isn't pushing too much boost. Also depends on how healthy his block is and how he drives it I suppose.
OP, I'm selling some brand new arp rod bolts(pro 2000) and arp head studs if you are interested. Getting a forged engine package and the vendor is supplying these.

I plan it to be not crazy boost and it will be a street strip more street car. The whole engine has 50k on it and came from an older guys car who bought it to have a newer camaro, not to beat the *** off of it. My plan is to do what I can with a stock bottom end, if it blows I'll build something else.

OP, you can look at my current build(in sig). Very similar to yours, but I ended up getting a 44mm Tial WG. I also decided during the tear down to go forged instead of going 8lbs on the stock bottom end.

Ok thanks willizm, and thanks for the input so far guys, like I said this is just a list im compiling based on suggestions and input from threads on here. I would like to see 700 whp or close to that which will require some more boost. I have no issue with doing forged rods and pistons, im just being budget minded.

Ok cool then forged rods and pistons will be on my list to. I'll check the crank out when I tear it all down. Also what are you boosted guys doing to beef the valvetrain up?

using stock rockers, but upgraded the needle bearings with the comp trunion upgrade. I think the lifters are fine, but I'll let someone else chime in on that. Also using the patriot gold spring kit in the 317 heads.
