Internal 350 parts
I about to start getting parts for my 350. I would like some opinions on what I should get I have a friend two houses down with a ford lighting said he would really like to help my he is in his later 30's so It will be great to have someone with some experence to help. I might down the road put nitrous on it and he said it would be a good idea to get better rods is this true I found this that look pretty good or is this over kill?? also the stock crank how will that hold up??
Connecting rods
Do you think these are overkill?

When I get the rebuild kit should I spend the extra money and get the forged pistions?? I think down the road I would like to put about a 75-100 shot on it. would forged rods and pistions and a summit rebuild kit sound strong enouf for somethink like that??

the thing with forged is don't expect a long life from the block and it will knock when cold (forged pistons have alot of slap and heat expansion) those are fine rods, I would use hypereutectic pistons for most stuff that's street use (not just racing)
