Is it possible to run forged rods and pistons on stock crankshaft?

Reason I ask is I need to rebuild or grab a new transmission. Someone told me that having a new trans would be harsh with a used motor. How accurate is that? I guess what I am trying to say is, is it best to upgrade to forged internals upon installing the new or rebuilt trans?

My thought process is that if I replace my internals it will help correspond with the new trans....if that even makes sense?? Or can I just install a new trans and not have to worry about the motor? I currently have 90K miles its been through 2 owners and other than carfax God knows what was done. I want to save as much $$$ as possible but if I have to spend to get a full setup then I will.

Or is there another route I do not see?
