I ___TRULY___ don't intend this to come across as a put down, it is not intended as one, but if you are unfamiliar with the type of shop that you would would want to work with to install these, then this (forged internals) maybe shouldn't be on your priority buy/modify list. You'd want to be working with a performance engine builder, and ideally one who has very specific experience with this specific engine. Somebody who is a generalist mechanic (even someone who has built older performance engines, or who specializes in different performance engines, like imports) could really screw up your engine, to the point that even though you may have forged rods and pistons, something else could end up pretty severely messed up (and in "goodbye warranty" land). Rubitrux, which is in your general region of the US, and seems well-respected, seems to have teamed up with Petty racing engines, and that sounds like a combo that will get the details right, but that's going to be in nosebleed-high-altitude-budget territory

I completely understand the risk and am willing to experiment around. There is a reputable shop here

I did some asking around and it seems like theres a few reputable shops here in Jacksonville up for the task. How much for a complete set?

Full set (Rods/Pistons) we are looking at $2500 + shipping

Any of the shops you work with will usually have a preferred machine shop. That machine shop will usually specialize in motor building and would likely build your short block or machine the block for the rods and pistons if it is required. It more of a ask your local performance shop who they use and ask as many questions until you feel comfortable.

For those asking about weight here are the weight differences:

We are talking an increase in about 16g

So they did the undercrown machining too?
