Are you looking to add forged components? Or just return to stock.

This would be my suggestion... http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...id=42&catid=27 Not much down time and you'll have your original engine sitting around in case any thing goes boom, or you could sell it to off set the new short block cost.
