New Pistons and Rods
Well recently my rings took a crap, so when i get them replaced i'm gonna go ahead and replace the pistons and rods with some upgraded forged ones. I'm kinda new to the bottom end of the engine and have been reading alot the last few days about them, but i'm still kinda unsure what to get. I'm looking at these pistons, http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=128&catid=38, will they basically fit my stock block and crank with eagle h-beams 6.125" length? Would i need to have the block honed out or can i install these without having to do that? Also, will it be necessary to have my crank polished up?

Looks likey they would fit the stock bore. Why are you getting a -4cc dish? Well, either way, depending on how your cylinder walls look, you may have to get them honed out to 3.905 I believe. There are pistons out there that fit this and other sizes as well (3.908, 3.903)
