RE: engine rebuild
If you want the engine to handle NOS use a forged piston. Whoever makes the pistons will know what rings to use. I would use a Moly type ring myself.
i like the full groove style main bearings in some thing that feirly soft if using a cast crank anfd fairly hard if using forged crank........
