Call around and get prices. It all depends where you go to get the sleeving done. IMO Golden Eagle or Earl's are the best places hands down. GE is a little less costly both block perform just as good. As for pistons/rods/ Just do searches you can find combo packages all over the internet. Its going to come down to what you rtrying to do with the car, what kinda power you want to make and how much yoru willing to spend.

You can get a piston/rod combo good for 700whp for about 800 bucks or you can get a piston/rod combo good for 1000whp+ for alot more money LOL

Come up with a budget and realistic goal and then post that up.

$1750 is roughly what you should expect for a basic resleeve/piston/rod combo. Knock off $750 if you don't get sleeves and have a block, as its ~$250 for typical machine work.

Like stated, this biggest decision is how much power you want to make...H beam rods will last and work well up to a certain hp, and coast about $300, but when you step it up to turbo tuff rods or crower, your getting up there $800 range...

Im running an rs machine block, JE pistons, eagle rods, acl bearings, GE lsv kit have about $1800 into the block
