What about a new water pump and pulley? Why not 12.5:1 JE pistons?

Gasket set, looks good but I wonder what brand the HG is.

If you can find a piston/rod/ring combo for that cheap help me out!! the only ones ive found are 10.5:1 Also would i be able to run on 93 octane?
Also I have a water pump, i did look at tensioners after i posted there not to expencive!

SPUD what are you doing about bolts? Are you keeping old bolts or using ALL new ones? I will be replacing head bolts i know, but what about the others?

Thanks for the good imput guys keep it commin!

thats what im getting....all ARP bolts....they are alot stronger and wont streatch as bad......if you plan on doing a real nice build then never use the old bolts....always use new ones....especially when the old ones are stock

8.8:1 JE pistons, eagle rods, JE rings cost me about $750.00
then i got complete prothane suspension bushings, prothane motor mount inserts, mpx oil pump, booger bushings, and crane valve springs.....that was another $375.00
crane #14 cams cost me $250
then the motor work is costing me about $700-$900
then there is TONS more[&:]
