My lq4 needs to be bored out and I figured while I'm doing this I'm going to upgrade to forged rods and pistons. What are some budget minded rods and pistons and do most of these come with wrist pins or can I reuse stock ones?

I'm running eagle h beam 6.125 rods with ARP 2000 rod bolts with diamond #11502 pistons -2cc...

Check out Texas speed... They have a good break down on all of the major brands..

I'm running scat pro comp I beams 6.125" rods & mahle powerpack piston & ring kit in my 370. Rods were bout $300 & piston & ring kit was $575. With a stock crank mine balanced out great, 5th lightest bob weight my engine builder has ever had. Pistons came with pins & retaining clips
