3 months after ordering it - I got my pistons, rods, and rockers today. I honestly was starting to loose hope on this order till about 2 weeks ago. Initially I was told it would only take 3 weeks. Anyways, I'm happy that they're finally here.

I guess I didn't need new rockers, but I really wanted to get a set of thier rockers anyways and so I kind of splurged when I placed the order.

Now I can finally schedule some crank balancing / block boring work at the machine shop. The block is already bored to 3.5" so they wont need to take too much out.

Blackdog Motorsports - http://www.blackdogmotorsports.com/pistons.html

Pistons $465
Piston coatings $160
Rings $75
Rods $350
Rockers $170
Shipping $17

Total $1,237

It was the granddady shipment that I've been waiting on for this engine build. The rest of the components brings the price for this engine to just under 2 grand, but that includes EVERYthing else that I need(or wanted) to bulid this new shortblock - block, bedplate, crank, rod/main bearings, lower end gasket kit, ARP head studs, ARP main studs, Melling oil pump, water pump, timing belt, idler pulley, tensioner pulley assembly. I suppose you don't really need ARP head/main studs but I wanted them. Also you may not need to buy a new water pump or oil pump, but I wanted to. I don't expect the machine work to cost too much.

I really just want to get this thing together so I can boost it. My turbo system is 100% designed, 75% purchased, and about 30% installed.

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

how much boost are you going to run? i wouldn't go over 12 without some C16 or some type of ignition controller... high compression with boost scares me. if it were me i wouldn't do it without a wideband oxygen sensor and the DIY-WB thingy installed to tell me my actual air/fuel ratio. i don't trust the stock oxygen sensor to give me accurate readings, i use it for a ballpark.

but... if you ran like 15 psi on race gas, that thing will be FAST.
