^^^^ you don't need forged unless you plan to add boost later or Nos....but with an h/c/i power output = same

what do you mean?? if your car is an 89.. then you need to swap your timing cover onto the 95 block and you can't use the intake... you can use the complete long block like I said earlier...ie heads, and block/ rotating assembley
