Message: [QUOTE="2000wa250, post: 472597, member: 3399"] Heres my $.02..... You're going through the headache of putting a motor in regardless. I know I am planning on buying a forged block as a back up. Cheaper, and if it gets me 20-40K then its worth the 800-1600 bucks it cost me. Thats a cost benefit analysis IMO. If you really feel that nervous about windowing another block, then instead of spending the money right now on billet rods, spend it on 2 forged blocks then you have a back up. If you blow the one in the truck, then you can swap the other one in, and take it from there. IMO I'd rather save some money now, buy myself some time, and allow myself to build up a motor on my terms rather than being forced to do it because my daily driver is down. Just seems like a much more financially responsible way to go about it. Who knows, the forged block you put in could last for 100K at that power level without any problems. If you're like me, thats 7+ years of driving that I got for simply the price of a forged block, not 10K. In that 7+ years I can buy everything I need to build a motor the way I want, without it severely impacting my financial well being and without putting myself into a ton of debt. Then if the one I put in blows I can grab a new block, throw the parts I've been saving in it, and put it in, or I could already have a fully build block ready to go and all I have to do is swap it in. I know you've already made the decision to buy a forged block, but I just wanted to put my rationale into the thread for others in the future that may come across the same decision. [/QUOTE]
