I need a new short block. Want to spray 200 shot at most occassionally. Forged pistons and good rings ,forged rods if needed. Mainly a nice street car but want it to live if i spray it. Any suggestions on short block builders from experience. opinions or suggestions appreciated.

Definitely forge rods included. Make sure to maintain excellent oil pressure through the RPM range.

Opinion: If you want it to live, don't spray it. Would like to note that this is an opinion, not Gospel.
