Ok, I am wondering what all a forged bottem end includes? What pieces? How much (on average) for each piece? Lastly How much boost and horsepower can you push? All input is welcomed! Thanks.

 

pistons, rods and crank. Price depends on what company makes the parts and HP depends on alot of factors.

 

this is also something im tryin to research now.....i have another open post up about gettin a supercharger but im wanting to keep the strength in the motor as well. is it cheaper to get a complete forged shortblock? and strip my block and have forged internals installed?

 

Thank you, so would I be able to safely do 450-500 Hp on my GT with forged internals? Oh also.. umm... hmm.. yea! What do you need for a built rear-end? Thanks Code! like your ride!

 

Yes, easily. As far as the rear end...good set of gears, Eaton posi, forged axles, rear end girdle and 3" wheel studs.

 

Nevermind, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

How much do you think that would cost? For the rear-end that is?

 

the eaton is about 450 from americanmuscle.com the axles are like 240 mayb? and gears can be anything from 175-240 then theres install

 

5.1 stroker forged short block like $4k from VT

 

do these companies that sell forged shortblocks take any kind of core charge if you turn in your stock shortblock? because you wouldnt need it right? also, i think im goin to look into DSS because they are pretty close to where i live, and they have a "layaway" program. i could pay alittle here and there and when i have about half down they will start the project, and then i just pay the rest when i have it. i think thats pretty cool for anyone on a budget. im lookin into the 4.6 super modular forged shortblock? about how much would i be lookin at for an installl on that?
