Stock forged shortblock....details please.

[MrMex]

OK, I've been looking around on details on the forged motors of the 97-99 RT/10's. The search function on this board is pissing me off b/c it gives me every post. I don't care about every post, just the thread.

Anyway, can someone shed some light on the forged motors I mentioned. Id like to know the following:
1. What exactly is forged; all reciprocating parts or just pistons?
2. What are the limits have these bottom ends been taken to?

I'm looking to buy a Viper and adding some FI to it, better to start of with a forged shortblock.

Have at it. :thumb:

Pistons are forged. Crank is forged and filleted, with cross-bolted mains. Rods are MoPar LA "P-Part" units that are magnafluxed and shot peened, with good bolts. Lots of stock-block Vipers are in the 550-650 hp range.
