Grab a set of H-beam or good I beam (lunati makes good rods, they're called pro mods), a set of JE/Wiseco/Ross/etc. pistons and get the rotating assembly balanced.

Eagle 4340 Competition Rotating Assembly

Eagle 4340 Forged 3.90" Crankshaft
Eagle 4340 H-beam Rods w/ ARP 8740 bolts (6.125"-6.20" deending on piston seclection)
JE Flat Top 3.905
Clevite Rod & Main Bearings
Perfect Circle Moly File Fit Rings
373 cubic inches w/ 3.905 (Aluminum block)

Eagle has good stuff and it will handle the 200 shot with no problem. I'm sure you know you need to get all the other items to go along with building a new engine. Gaskets, oil pump, engine machine work, H/C/I, exhaust, etc.....

There really are alot of different ways to go about what you are looking to do. What is the peak HP you are looking to make with the car? What kind of heads do you plan to use? Already have a set?
If you would like I can get a quote together for you on a complete forged bottom end.
Let me know if there is anyway I can be of assistance.

Thanks,
Leo
