I am looking for info on what the Pistons Rods and Crank are made out of. Also looking for the Compression Ratio.

If any one knows this info, please let me know, I am wondering how well this motor will react to forced induction.

The compression ratio is 9.7:1.

I haven't found much info on the Internet about this engine, other than this article on rebuilding the 4.0 pushrod, which is the immediate ancestor of the 4.0 SOHC.

According to this page the connecting rods are forged steel:
