Default 6.0 Forged Rotating Assembly

Hi Guys,
My 55 Nomad project changed directions.
I purchased a 20,000 mile LY6 and 4L80. I was going to use a Fuel Injection setup from a Fifth Gen Camaro, but decided to purchase a Supercharger from a LSA. Is there a GM forged rotating assembly that will work with a stock standard bore 6.0 Iron Block? Does the LS2 have a forged rotating assembly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Yes there are forged assemblies for the standard bore, but it might be worth it to do a light cleanup of the bores and put in 4.005" pistons. Only engine with a forged bottom end is the LS9 which won't work in your case unless you bore it out to that size bore.

What crankshaft, rods and Pistons should I use to make a stroker? With the supercharger I will need to stay at 9.5:1.

Crankshaft you can keep stock depending on the power levels you're shooting for, but a popular budget combo is Eagle hbeam rods and Wiseco pistons.

Does the LS2 have a forged crankshaft? Is it the same crankshaft used in the LY6?
