you can not run forged rods with oem pistons unless you have retaining clips machined into the piston like in aftermarket forged pistons. Otherwise there is nothing holding the wrist pin in place since both the rods and pistons are slip fit. Sell the eagles and pick up some oem rods and arp rod bolts. You will still have to fly cut the piston saddles to fit the small end of the rod. Have the pistons re-balanced after they are fly cut.
