Best BB bang for your buck?

Rusty,regardless of what you decide,build the strongest bottom end you can afford.This allows you to do upgrades without worry of a strong foundation.

Great advice. I am going to "waste" money on the ARP PRO Wave Loc rod bolts to go in my six pack rods. At 100 bucks, they're pricey for rod bolts, but a whole lot less than another short block.
