I am always willing to accept constructive criticism and appreciate all that put forth info into this thread.
I was primarily looking for feedback on build components itself, however much of the feedback here is geared towards scrapping the idea of built short block and keeping the oem block.
It is always a risk tearing the motor down and rebuilding. As stated just because your putting forged components in, if install or tolerances are not on spec, disaster will come shortly later. Many are running more then my goal on oem internals; maybe I should just set aside funds for the block if it is needed down the road. Yes, it may or may not be needed, I may end up spending more money down the road on labor...decisions decisions...
