In hind sight (kinda still learning) I should have put the money into new better flowing heads with larger CC's so standard blower pistons would do the trick....but hey I've had to do this on a budget and never felt I could spend 2k on heads...and the piston money was doable. Also, we are converting it to a 4 bolt main and using all ARP fasteners.

I'm rounding up all the parts tonight and will probably take a few pics...I think the pistons look sweet!
