Well they do offer them in stock sizes if you call the number on the ad. I am running the combo with out any problems FYI. But if you still don't want it you can get a set of Weisco's from Polydyne for like $525 coated Ceramic domes and antifriction coating on the skirts. The rods I would probably recomend for a budget the Manely's. Good luck. Oh and the guy on the Ebay deal will sell you just the pistons if you call him so that is another option.

For a budget there are several possibilites. Virtually all of the engine builders on this board will sell some combination. They are usually Chinese/offshore cast and US machined. The Callies/Diamond is one such combination. I think Crower has another. And there are Eagle and SCAT rods. I think the Mahle pistons may be in that range also.
Complete short blocks with these parts and a reworked stock crank I believe are under $3000k assembled.

Probe make a good I-Beam rod, and a nice forged piston. Both are shelf stock items, which means no waiting in most cases.
Piston 354gms Flat top. +.010” out of the hole on std deck.
Rods I beam 560gms Ultra lite
Very competetively priced
All of this is on the shelf.
PM me if you need more info on them. I don't know which of the sponsors carries Probe, but I know some non-sponsors that do, so I can't and won't be posting pricing, or who to buy them from.

The only savings would be the cost of the assembly labor. That is what you would be saving.
