No.

I am mainly concerned with engine longevity and reliability.

Just to let you know, I have NEVER seen an engine with over 50k on it that didnt need to be bored.. .030" is the most common overbore so the pistons are a little cheaper than a .010" which dosent clean up everything in most cases.

Thats not what I wanna hear. :-?

Machine work for that adds a lot to the bill.

Alright, budget wise, I would like to spend less than a grand for pistons and rods. Machine work I guess whatever a 355 would cost to bore and the works. Its mainly a street warrior with the occasional trip to the track. Power level would be around 400whp without juice, which is roughly what I should be making but just want to freshen things up and strengthen the bottom end.

snm - I just need a total budget for your build I will tell you what I can do with it. I do not need to know what you want to spend for each part.. When you have an idea of a total budget let me know and I will tell you what I can do for you.. Then, when you are ready, we can get started and you will already know what the plan is going to be.

Sounds good, I will give it some thought over the week and get back to you.
