Default What to run for internals

Im going to be building a 331 with a Dart block and im not sure yet as to what internals to run. I am going to be boosting the motor and want to see around 800 wheel. Ill have fordged dished pistons but dont know if i should run powdered rods instead of fordged or even what crank. I was thinking about Eagle but im not sure. Can anyone give me ideas on what brands to run for a crank, rods and pistons?

no smaller than 347. a build like that would probably be better left up to a competent shop. that kind of power needs attention to detail and knowledge to last any length of time.

I already got a shop picked out in Michigan that are big with Dart. I just wanted to see what would be the best parts to run so I can call and get a price on a short block from them. What would be a good grind for a cam. I want them to custom grind one for me and i know a guy that had .600 lift and he ran 9s on a 327 R302 block

a few guys i trust prefer Scat over Eagle. i personally have the Eagle SIR stuff, but i am N/A.

For a custom cam grinder, Camshaft Innovations would be one place to look for sure, i personally am very happy with my cam.
