So you are prepared to spend ~$500 on pistons and rings? Then spend more money on having your stock crank turned and your stock rods resized? How much money do you really think you'll have in this rebuild? How much better of a deal is it to just go straight to a 347? New crank, new forged rods, ARP cap screws, Probe forged pistons, rings and bearings all for $750. 15% more motor for virtually the same price when it's all said and done.

i'd just go with speed pro's if you dont have tons of cash. most of their pistons are TRW stuff just under the new name. very high quality stuff, hell ford has used trw pistons for plenty of oem stuff over the years
