The weakness is more so the rods rather than the pistons.

And you'll probably need a machine shop to do the work. You'll probably have to hone the cylinders to smooth them up if you're putting in new pistons. After all the parts and labor, a brand new short block would probably be cheaper, and less of a headache. You can just call MMR, tell them what you want/need, and they'll set you up with the right stuff.

Im looking to supercharge it and be no more then 500 horse power.

And i first wanna see the final price becuase it might just be easier to buy a block from MMR. Im thinking i might end up doing that. CAN I buy there block and take all the other parts of my current engine and put it on?

Should be ok with that. Definitely get ARP main studs and Head studs though.
