If you're absolutely staying n/a there is no point, but if you think even "maybe" that you might want more down the road then I'd say definitely go forged

No problem, glad I could help! The link doesn't work though

 

i can never figure out how to make stuff like that work

 

Copy and past the link is the easiest way for me.

 

If u could rebuild it or know someone who could u could rebuild it cheap if u wanted. used crank and rods are cheap on here. Maybe 200$. Bearings only 130$ clevites. And gaskets 100$.

But to each there own. A tms shortblock would be nice as well if u got the money.

 

i did lol...

 

Gasket kit for a complete rebuild is close to $500
