The cam I will be running is in the 4.8 right now. I'll bring the stock cam down there for good measure, though. The 6.0 with forged parts had ARP 2000 rod bolts. They came with the rods though.

Do you mean the narrow bearings? I don't think those come stock in anything, believe its aftermarket only.

Just going to run it stock for now, should be fast enough for me for a while. But if I did forge it, the parts recommendation would be scat rods and vautotec pistons

Got the short block back together... Took me a few days to do it, as I spent a lot of time making sure every piece was extremely clean before assembly. Not sure when I'll be dropping it in yet.
