I vote you go with a newer 4.8 from a scrapyard. Swap you components and go. Your build is great and alot of inspiration for alot of people. I think alot of people who doubt the 4.8 need this to give them that extra push to try it out. Just sayin.
Glad you are ok and something worse didnt happen. THat really is the main thing.

Don't waste the time going forged. I say gen IV rods and slap it back together. On my 5.3L I couldn't get the gen 3 rods to stay straight past 685whp I would said you did good. I really would like to see how much gen IV rod in a 4.8L would hold. I bet it will hold over 1000whp with the good rod ratio of that shorter stroke. good luck man I look forward to seeing where you go from here.
