Got all my stuff from Pelican parts. Are you looking ti upgrade your pistons for a different compression? If not than there's no reason to replace then unless they gauge out of round. Pretty expensive too.
If so, JE pistons.

I don't know yet. I haven't torn into my motor yet. I've got 355,000 miles on it. I don't know if ill have to bore it put or not. I just want to make sure all parts are available before I start. We're you happy with the quality of parts from pelican?

Oh yeah. Most of their stuff is oem. When you get it apart the heads should be resurfaced and cleaned by a machined shop. They'll also check the valve guides and install new seals. You will also want to gauge the cylinder walls about 1 in from the top and bottom and the pistons. That will tell you everything you need to know. Don't take block measurments with the block on a stand.
Plasti-gauge all bearings. If you do tear it open, i can give you every tolerance. Definitely want new rings and to hone/deglaze your cylinder walls.
