Is it true that these engines had forged cranks? Will they fit our cars? I want to use it to make a 331 or I might just keep it as a 302...well, 306 if the crank is forged and spray it. Will this crank withstand alot of abuse? is there anything you guys would look for if you kept it a 306 and sprayed it? here's my idea:
Forged Sealed Power/Federal Mogul pistons
Forged rods... Still looking for a decent rod. Any suggestions?
1.7 ford racing rockers
GT40/GT40p heads ported by a local machine shop
Steeda #19 cam
ARP bolts
Cobra/GT40 upper/lower intake manifold matched to the heads
Anything else I should look for/add/think about? What type of nitrous system do you think would be the best on this engine? I can't really afford a SC at the moment so nitrous is my best bet. I use to have a 5115 NOS system and it was decent, but I'm leaning towards a ZEX kit. Also, will this be a good match with my current mods?

This will be my first build.. I'm excited and I wanna do it right.. Please help me out here guys
