FYI...If you want forged pistons go with the 360 its cheaper...when I had my 318 rebuilt/bored 30 over, the forged pistons alone cost me over $500 and if your gonna do that much you might as well put in as many goodies as you can afford.
*note* it is a proven fact that a well built/maintained V8 produces less emissions than a brand new honda four cylinder*
