Default Standard or Metric piston rings???? Need some help.

I'm rebuilding the bottom end on my 90 shortblock. Its has the forged TRW's from the factory. The part number is E7ZE-CA.

Does anyone know if I need standard or metric rings? This is the last thing I need to start on it.

I don't know which machine shop you use, but I use Craig's Automotive in Eunice. They are located about 1.5 miles north of town on hwy 13, can't miss them, they are on the right. Call and speak to Shane and if he isn't there talk to Kurt. They are the son's of the owner and basically run the shop. They have some nice equipment and are dealers of high performance parts. They also have a couple of 8 sec. cars. I doubt if the cars will be around, I have never seen them in person, but have seen photo's and heard rumors.
