well if your gonna put in some aftermarket pistons no point in keeping stock rods and when you boost you always want more. Thats why my car is in a million pieces right now do a full rebuild w/ a fresh hone and you won't regret it.

rebuild = money

no money = more time to save up

well there is no point in just throwing pistons in there save your money and get new mains and rod bearings, new rods, pistons, rings, and a dingleberry honer, DIY man it isn't really that hard just make sure you plasiguage your bearings and you will be fine
