I think he could those same pistons for about $400.

You are full of ****. The only pistons probe makes in their SRS series that are for a 3.4" crank, with a 5.4" rod are 1.090" CH pistons...

Which have the wrist pin intersecting the oil scraper ring.

Go ahead, tell me im wrong.

That IS NOT the piston I'm using.
My oil rings are well away from the piston.
Time to move out of your basement and into the world............

Just a heads up for you hun, I did the EXACT same thing to my engine 2 months ago, I am on my second rebuild now. My pistons cracked on the second ring because I listened to my engine builder (moron) and didn't upgrade my fuel injectors, pump and all the other snazzy extras that go along with it. You will need bigger injectors then the stock ones if you are still running the EFI
