[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 14379479, member: 10303"] Since the block will have to be bored to the size of the pistons that you order the current size is not really relevant. Just remember that if you are going to go with ARP studs for the main and the heads make sure the block is bored using the studs to clamp down the torque plate and the mains are torqued to whatever you will be using for your final assembly. If you don't do this your bores may not only NOT come out round but there could be quite a bit of taper from the top of the cylinder to the bottom. With the heads it doesn't really matter what year car they were from. The final, improved cooling passage and 9 spark plug threads wasn't released until sometime in 2005 and beyond. Whatever head you end up going with take them to a first rate head shop for a good valve job, new guides properly sized to the valve stems (the factory guides are not particularly well done) and new valve seals. And if you want to get them ported now is the time to get it done. Or you could just buy a set of there Roush/Yates already ported 9 thread heads.
