yep, aftermarket pistons. i was looking at SRP's.

how much are sleeves?

guess i never realized eagle H beams are so cheap - that works out well and i know a lot of people run them and i dont think ive ever heard anything bad about 'em....

i wanna upgrade my cams cuz like i say, i might never make it to turbo... and i dont wanna have a motor that sucks without it... so, i figure upgrade now and if the ones i use are no good for turbo, i guess ill have to swap em out if i do get around to boosting it. that's the same reason im going to stick with stock c/r... lowering will be an all motor disaster, raising will suck if i wanna go turbo in the future.

step one is getting the head work done... i have a spare head in my car right now, gonna take it to the cleaner today and get her sparkling... machinist sometime this week for the 3 angle and ill see if i can find some prices on a mild p&p.
step 2 is finding a b18b block (i have a b18a if it doesnt sell maybe ill just use that)
step 3 is building that
step 4 put it all together and drop it in

thanks for your help, guys and anymore feedback is always welcome :thumbup:
