[QUOTE="black03, post: 5366733, member: 4037"] Paul, Hopefully you've gotten a hold of Matt already but if not please call us anytime from 10am-5pm which is the best time to reach us. In regards to a few of your questions and concerns I'll do the best to help you out. Keep in mind I am in no way an engine builder and only give recommendations from information I've learned from professionals such as Al Papitto, Bart Tobener and more.. For the pistons we recommend the CP/Modmax Piston or the Diamonds or most applications. Al uses CP exclusively and of course there's no reason to question him why as he's one of the most reputable engine builders in the industry. I usually always recommend the CP's for that matter.. If you're going with a new block you don't necessarily need the 20 over as that will obviously lessen the life of the block if a rebuild is ever needed. So by keeping the stock bore you don't give up much but you'll gain a rebuild. If it's a used block of course there's no harm done to go the 20 over as you'll most likely want to clean that block up from its prior use anyway. For the TOB sleeve I do feel ours is a superior product due to it's material as well as the genuine Tremec seal and O-Ring. I don't know what our competitors use for them but atleast I know whats in ours! ARP hardware is a must. I wouldn't reinstall a rod or head without installing the ARP stuff first. All of Al's motors use ARP fasteners for everything.. For the oil pump I would just go with a high output Ford Racing Cobra pump or one of the new Melling pumps which we have. Once again Al uses the FRPP HO Oil Pump in all of his Cobra blocks. The mellings have a very good reputation for performing well and that why we carry them. Besides that you'll need new rod bearings and main bearings. Hope that helps. Jared [/QUOTE]
