heard of them through magizine articals I think they sell on ebay, do a search on them for their rep. what I dont see in the desciption that I would ask about is what are the brand names of the stuff they could be using cat stuff also nodular is another name for cast to me $2800 seems high for a no name brand component short block......

RE: 383 short block
I dont think you will find many that would say to much against forged internals its usally a cost, racing class or weight issue why not to use them. The only thing I can say is if you intend to buy used make sure you have it checked, watch the type of metal it is forged out of(I remember some of the old pontiac forged rods were thought of as weaker than their cast but that is going way back) also on forged piston "better alloy" may not be the best for the street because it needs more clearance they may have a tendancy to rattle a little at start up and are not recommended for street applications. I am pretty sure that is what the instructions with the probe pistons I bought said.........
