    forged pistons?

    Do to all your replies, I went ahead and ordered a set of forged pistons from jegs. I might as well do it while the motor is apart. Thanks for all the responses.

    forged pistons?

    Do you think the pistons in the rebuilt longblock motor are forged? I heard that the pistons from the factory are forged.

    forged pistons?

    The pistons I was looking at will give me a 8.5:1 ratio(dish). With that lower ratio will I be able to run more boost, if so, do you know how much?

    cam suggestions

    I have cam recommendations from comp cams and lunati but they said there cam rec may not pass. The cams they recommended are really radical, like .565 lift. I'm thinking maybe that the EFI selection from lunati might have a better chance

    I checked out fordstrokers.com they have the liberator blocks but those are factory blocks correct, so I would bring them a dart bare block. Maybe I should go n/a.

    good engine setup?

    They are the cast heads lol. I considered GT40P's but I already have long tubes and I heard the headers don't line up or the spark plug angle is different. I haven't seen any of the lager budget aluminum heads the are cali smog legal.
