What exactly are you looking for and what kinda combo are you trying to build? Just a simple rebuild? Performance build? N/A or forced induction? I have all my forged internals on sale right now on my webstore if you wanna have a peek. If you give me a little more info I can help guide you which components you should be looking at. Since you already have a cobra forged crank I'm assuming you are leaning towards something like a forged rod/piston combo and gunna reuse the stock crank, unless it is damaged in some way. Let me know if you have any questions.

I agree with 10inch

A 4V rebuilt isnt going to be cheap anyway you go about it.. If you're going to have it all torn down, atleast replace the rods/pistons with forged units, then your whole engine will be bulletproof. When I spun a rod bearing in my motor, I added up the cost of rebuilding, then the cost of a new Ford longblock, and ended up goin with the longblock.. And the 3yr/75k warranty

Well my car has a procharger with a 3 core intercooler, I want something strong enough for about 500rwh. Like I said what is the best bang for the buck piston,rods, rings kit. Not very expensive.

Forged pistons/rods and you'll be good to past 600 hp

They are forged and a pretty good price.

Seems like a decent combo... Teksid blocks/crank/ B + C heads are good for a solid 1000hp before you need to start worrying about structural integrity again, after the forged pistons/rods of course...
