pis-ton, and on, and on, and on..........

One suggestion here before you pop for the forged pistons.
Find out what the piston to cylinder wall clearance will need to be.
If it's over .002" then I'd pass. There are forged pistons made from an alloy that doesn't expand
much more than a cast piston and that is probably what you should try to get.
Not saying don't go forged, just that there are different alloys that could make your engine a happy
engine or make it a PITA.
just my .02
