I also doubt if you need forged pistons for what you are doing.
I would try a set of Hypereutectic instead.
I agree this article was printed in 1994 so forged pistons were cheaper then. And you can also get a good set of rods cheaper than rebuilding the old chevy rods. And there wern't that many aftermarket heads around either. BUT... The only machining jobs on the heads were a 3 angle valve job and the heads planed, and the valve guides redone.

What I will do is get the article formated and and up under heading 350 350 HP buildup.
