are the rods found in the 2.3 forged or cast. if they can handle 300-400hp, i would think they are forged. any opinions or facts?

rods
they are the same part number as n/a 2.3 which are cast... the reason the pistons are forged is becuase high temperatures wich would melt/crack/destroy cast pistons

They are cast, and they are the same rods in the 90s 2.3L n/a motor that were used in the 80s turbo motors. same part number and everything.

The pistons are cast, not the rods.
The rods are forged, whether NA or turbo, it's all the same.
