Pistons: Speed Pro H857CP
Rings: Sealed Power E921K
Like I said, I got my pistons from my machine shop for about $225, but if you search around you can find them on the web for about the same. I have never ordered anything from them before, but enginekits.com has them for $250 and the rings for $100.

Good luck on finding the flat top pistons for cheap. That would be the LQ9 (or LS2) pistons. I also wanted to go flat top, but they are quite a bit more expensive.
LQ9 Piston from Speed Pro: H1129CT ($375 from RockAuto)
Note that these are also designed for a floating pin (not pressed like the LQ4) so you will likely need different rods as well.
Another option if you have a stock bore (4.00") would be to seek out a set of used LS2 pistons. I have seen a set with rods go for as little as $150 on eBay.

Best I found when I was considering this were the Scat rods. They have a press fit version and a bushed version.
Scat Pressed: 26100944P
Scat Bushed: 26100927
These both go for around $300.
Again, a used set of LS2 rods may be a better way to go (financially) especially if you are keeping things rather tame.
