Forging internals?
What would be the best way to go about forging my internals? Should I but the pistons and rods and pay someone to forge it or just buy a block from mmr? Realistic goals of mine would be 550rwhp until I can get a good fuel system and afford a stronger tranny. I want to forge it the cheapest way possible. I live near Atlanta so if anyone knows a good person to forge it around here let me know!

Not being a smartass, just telling you that you buy forged internals, you don't buy unforged internals and than have someone forge them. Forging them is the process used to make them

And don't get all butt-hurt about all of the smart-*** replies. They just think that it's simple widely known information. Maybe next time you ask a question do some research on your own or maybe since you obviously didn't know what they are ask the question "what exactly is forged internals?", oh and a suggestion make friends with a mechanic

I think forged rotating assemblies cost somewhere around $2500. You're looking at a lot of labor. I'd guess 6hrs r&r the motor, spending 4 or 5 hundred bucks at the machine shop (it'd be best to let them get the rotating assembly), plus all the gaskets and bs that go along with rebuilding an engine. I'd say plan on spending somewhere around 4 grand. But IMO there's no reason to spend that unless you're gonna go FI and beat the **** out of your car. From what I understand, the rods are the weak point in the modulars, they like to stretch.

Really? You've made a whole 29 posts... and now you're going to leave already? lol
What other bizarro questions/comments have you made to get (alleged) smartass replies??
My initial thought was how in the world do you think you can forge particle metal rods that have already been manufactured? You do know how the stock rods and the stock hypereutectic pistons are made right????

1)I know what forged internals are
2)you wanna tell me how I should do research on my own when you asked how to sea foam. Maybe you should try google also.
3)I'm fully aware that you buy forged internals
