Re: ok, scrutinize this combo... Over all, it looks like a pretty cool engine (wish I could afford that...). You said you have a "stock rebuilt bottom end." Does that mean stock pistons? If so, I would say spend the money and go forged. The factory crank is plenty strong. The rods are good IF you replace the bolts with a set from ARP. Also, use studs where ever you can. They are stronger and easier to work with.
The hot cam is REALLY small for that much engine. I don't know if you are interested, but I have a 234/230 on a 112LSA that I had ground for my engine never used.
