Forged 346 questions Hello, I am doing an STS GT76 setup on my gto and am wondering where to get a forged motor or is it possible/cheaper to use my shortblock and buy a forged assembly, what all needs to be done? Sorry for the newbish type questions.
I cant really afford heads right now either....so it would have to be just a cam and shortblock. I may not even do the forged motor yet. I'll be running methanol also

I would go w/ stock shortblock, get some heads and cam and leave the boost < 10 lbs until you can afford a built motor. That should leave you some left over $$ for now for all the upgrades you'll be needing soon (clutch, fuel sys, etc...), then when you've got all that stuff in check get the shortblock built.
