I should have been more specific. I was looking at using the 268XFI HR13 Any brand suggestions for crank, rods and pistons?
I see that Scat, Eagle and Lunati Voodoo all have non-twist forged 4340 cranks for $600-700. What's a good package price?
PS That Crossfire looks like a piece of art
I don't know of any "packages" per-say, but I use Eagle 4340 forged cranks, Eagle FSI I-beam forged rods (my rods are good to 750hp) so I should be fine. I would also go with full floating pins. I also use Wiseco forged pistons. These are good items and there are others and it all depends on how much you want to spend and who you would prefer to go with, there are lots. Again, I would "never" use cast anything in that motor making that power range unless you just like to spend money for the hell of it.
My cam is a custom HR cam for my car and motor setup and my specifications that I wanted the motor do accomplish from Straub Technologies and Chris Straub is a bit pricey vs. maybe other cam manufacturers. There are plenty of other cam guru's out there to choose from as well.
I hope this helps you out at least a little. Just remember to build for strength and quality, not HP.

If you can still get a quench of 0.040" with a stock block and piston height using a Felpro 0.015" gasket, what benefit exactly is there to decking the block?
I understand that you want the deck perfectly square and flat, but what benefit is there to blocking the deck all the way down to 0.000" if you can still get proper quench without it?
