new engine question

most of you know that im gettin a new engine, the question is have any of you that have had to get a new one from ford know if the remanufactured ones come with pmr rods or forged rods. id rather know now than when it gets here cause if it doesnt have forged rods than ive got to order them quick. the parts guy at work had no idea what i was even talking about

Break out the checkbook!!

Hey, just think of it this way:
If you do it now (putting in forged rods), you've got a TON of power mods you can do and still have a reliable engine.

You're gonna make me envious, buddy.

I had a fairly reliable source tell me just the oppposite, that all IH remans came with Forged rods. I have an IH reman, but havent taken the time to pull the little plug and look to be sure.

I am a member of several diesel boards and all state the same thing. There have been numerous discussions on this topic. Plus I have seen in person, 3 different remans with the PMR's. You can always pull the inspection plug to verify. Oh yeah!! BIG BUCKS.
