UPDATE!
The machine shop I went to has been swamped since racing season is comming up so he cannot get me a parts list he likes. Taking that into account I will be purchasing the pistons/rods/and headgasket on monday morning.
I will be purchasing a set of 8.8comp .020"over pistons and a set of eagle rods from Arias on monday morning along with a cometic headgasket. After that will come all the minor parts like the bearings, a rebuild kit, and ARP studs all around. I hope to begin work on the motor by the end of this month. I will post up some pics later of the srtipped engine bay before we begin the re-paint.

Ordered some Arias .020 over forged pistons, some eagle rods, and a cometic multilayer metal head gasket from Arias yesterday. Should be here soon. As soon as I get the parts I can have the block punched out. I hope to have the rotating assembly in the block by about april, with the completed block ready to drop in the chassis by May.
If you ever need internals I recommend Arias based on thier customer service. Give them an A+++, NEVER dealt with a better company, so helpful in chainging my order around. I had asked them for a set of stock pistons along with the rods and head gasket. I found out later before paying that I needed a set of over bored pistons and they swapped them out and sent my order on its way.

Well my shipment from Arias Pistons came in today. In the box was a set of .020" Over forged pistons with 8.8CR, a set of Eagle ESP H-Beam rods, and a Cometic head gasket. I'll be taking the pistons out in a few minutes to the engine shop to have my block bored to fit them. Here are the pics....maybe I took too many??

Ok smoke, that was just damn creepy.......
Sad part is though I'm building the motor for 20+psi, my goal is only 250wtq, so its gonna end up over built for the time being. Ill turn up the boost to the 20+ later though.
