If you've got money to spend swing in good pistons. Ideally you should just need a hone and a rotating assembly re-balance, as well as possibly having your connecting rods bushed for floating pins depending on your piston choice.
If you do this I would figure:
500 for pistons 100 for hone to fit pistons 300 for rebalance New bearings 160 Machine rods 200?
Cam and lifters 200 Custom pushrods 100 Valve springs, locks, retainers 250 Gaskets 100? Headers 150-500
So you're looking at about 800 to do it without upping the compression, another 1300 to up the compression. Then any labor.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street
