blk89lx

ok so im about to order a 347 shortblock from woody at fordstrokers. my question is should i spend the extra 300 bucks for a forged crank? im kinda on a budget and the motor is just gunna be a high reving n/a daily driver. would it be worth the money or cast will do me just fine.

a cast crank will outlive the block, don't waste your money

^^^^double that the stock block is not the place to waste a forged crank.

and 89lx how long did woody say for your motor i know he hella swamped right now and have heard up to 3-4 months and that was a month ago...

so what is the plan for the motoe heads/cam and such?

I guess the ? is are you gone to move up to a aftermarket block in the next few years? if you are then it maybe OK but if you are not then I would go with the cast
