[QUOTE="DaCajun, post: 1368300, member: 15873"] My intentions are not to take anything away from their kit, and no it does not come with pistons. Their kit is $2350.00, and that's with you supplying your own crankshaft, but not balanced that's an extra $350. They do supply the rods at that price. Pistons are another $800... Now what I can do here locally to me is have the crankshaft machined $300, the crankshaft rod journals nitride hardened $300 and the final balancing between $300 to $350. I can buy brand new Mahle pistons, pin, locks and rings for $785 shipped. The big end of the rods will need to be faced, no big deal as I have access to a machine shop and will do those myself for free. And as for as all the block machining, that will be done by my automotive machinist on a Cylinder Block CNC machine. As stated before I will have the mains fitted with ARP Studs then align honed. Then the block is going to get squared up with the mains and decked. It is vital I get the cylinder block work done first so I'll have the true deck height this way I can crunch the numbers so I can have my original .015 piston protrusion the shortblock is completed.. As for as the cylinder heads, I will also be doing a bit of work on those myself. Stuff bowl blending and touching up the exhaust ports, but not too much as I want to retain the velocity of those hot gases... I get it, this is more than a simple bolt on which appears to be way more than most in here are comfortable with, but in the Hot Rod world these things are done all the time. [/QUOTE]
