buying a forged shortblock how can I tell...?
Buying a 355 forged shortblock for my 67 camaro. The guy said it has forged internals - how can I tell if the pistons really are forged? Is there a number I should look for ..or???

and yet ..notice bret didn't say he'd turn them down. 
but yeah its relatively easy to tell with a visual inspection. you may even be able to look up how to do it yourself with google, its really not that hard.
