Default RE: stock pistons?

i spun a bearing or threw a rod in my motor not sure exactly what until i pull it. i just know that its a loud knocking and the car shakesand i have an aluminum WAP block not the stronger teksidblock and 03 cobra heads but i dont have internals for the block yet and i really dont want to spend $1,900 on forged internals if it will be over kill because it will be an N/A motor due to the fact i dont have money for a supercharger or turbo. so would it be safe touse a stock rotational assembly from a GT?

i have access to all equipment i need to do any machining on the block such as align honing or boring and honing the cylinders at the automotive tech school im attending. im also going to be porting and polishing the cobra heads. i was told that the 01 mach 1 intake fits on the 03/04 cobra heads.

What do you have for an intake manfiold, your gt once isnt going to work, your gonna end up spending alot of cash to get the rest of the top end of that swap.
