Forged internals

What all is in involved in this, what needs to be done. Kinda dumb question but still a rookie.

You would need the above. Probably a 3.905 piston, deck the block and at least line hone for the pistons.

Usually for a 347, forged internals doesn't have to include a forged crank. Old school chevy and ford guys will think that is weird, but the stock crank can handle a ton of power so a forged crank is usually necessary.

completely agree on that one. Fully Forged internals does include a forged crank, but it's doubtful many of us here will ever reach the power level to need it. All I'm doing it the forged pistons/rods, and a set of nice rod bolts. That's a good enough combo to push the car into the 9's
