i ordered from cnc-motorsports.com. got rods pistons and rings for 850.00 free shipping. i bought the scat rods first and when i put them in they were hitting the main girdle. i just expected it to hit the cylinder walls. go with the eagles instead of scat. less grinding and clearancing required. now i have eagel rods, srp pistons, and rings. all for 850. good prices. guys are ******** when it comes to returning stuff so make sure you dont have to.

i was gonna buy those from him but his pistons are stock bore and i need .20 over. no i didnt do it myself. i paid a machine shop to do it since im investing so much money. if you can works something out with ghettoturbo do it cause not having to notch the block would save some time.
