Got a 99 cobra and threw a rod bearing. I've decided to forge the engine by buying new pistons and rods. What parts besides those and rings and pins will i need. Anything else I need to get or look out for? This will be the first time rebuilding the bottom end but i've got a lot of experience on the top end and mechanically in general. What else do I need to get/look for?

forged crank

It may actually be around the same price with less headache to just order a shortblock from a MMR, or another company.

+1 mmr has built motor's for all hp levels. yuo can choose a regular 4.6, 4.6 bored to a 5.0, or a 5.4 motor

99/01's HAVE forged cranks from the factory.

yes they do have forged cranks form the factory, but their is a good chance u damaged ur crank when u spun a bearing....

Just buy an internal kit if you don't want to buy a new S/B. They aren't that expensive, and come with really good stuff.

Ellik

they can do some machining on it, but you better hopeyou dont have to replace it. A new forged crank is going to be pricey!! You might as well look at complete short blocks.

I'm going to buy new pistons and rods, the crank will be reused unless it is damaged. Even buying the pistons, rods, and crank it will only cost 1300-1500. Much cheaper than a short-block. I'm also going to buy a stock eaton s/c off an 03/04 cobra and I'm wondering what power levels i can reach without replacing things, esp the transmission. What will my stock T-45 hold? Would it hold the stock boost from the eaton? What is going to break first?

Ellik

you know you need more than just the Eaton, right?

T45 would hold stock power levels if your easy on it.
