How bad did the mains spin? If the spun bad the block is likely not worth messing with, meaning you need a junkyard engine to start with.

Im going to be using 6" Scat Pro Comp rods and Mahle Powerpak Pistons. Ive heard of a lot of guys running this setup with great results. If you are going to spray a lot of Nitrous you may want to go with a different piston though.
