Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

Yes, but in my opinion not worth the expense.
A lot of pistons designed for press-fit pins have narrower(& lighter) pin bosses, and do not have the room for retainer grooves.
318's are one of the few that made the switch to press-fit, but used the identical pistons, because the low squeeze auto slugs & even lower truck ones were the same. They avoided having to produce & stock (2) more part#s.
