Yeah that was my issue with the Ohio crank kit is they don't say what type of rods it comes with. Trust me, forged or nothing there I know that. No my first rodeo.

My biggest issue comes with finding balanced kits that are lt1 specific for a price I feel like paying. I'm not looking to dump $5-6,000 into the motor. $2,500-3,000 is the most I really want to go. Otherwise like I said I'd just swap a 6.0 into I and be done with it. Only using the lt1 cause I have a complete donor car. Makes life easier to not have to hunt down all the odds and ends.
Basically whatever my 3,000 into the motor gets me is what it gets me. That's just the motor, nothing else. Already have nitrous kit/fuel system and the 24x conversion will be separate from that budget. Really wish I knew exactly how ported my current heads were and by who. Would make life much easier for me right now. I'm going off the assumption they were home ported and I'll need to replace them. Must have something done I assume though to put down 319 at the wheels with a hot cam.
