RE: steel for forged crank
Depends what you mean by Steel. Forged Cranks are Steel amd Cast Cranks are also Steel/Iron. If you mean which is Stronger that is another Question and a Forged part will always be stronger. A stock SBC chevy will have a Cast Steel or Iron crankshft

It will not make much diffenence which one it is because I do Not think you will be making that much power. My opinion. Again I would think its a Cast nodular Iron crank.

To need a forged crank, you will really need serious power, as a first time builder, its doubtfull that you will build an engine over 4-500 hp, you might get into problems with engines with more power than that but even then you could still be fine.
