I don't know about the pistons but the cranks are going to be the same thing, and I never worry about what pistons came stock in a particular engine cause if you're gonna rebuild it then what was in it from the factory doesn't matter.
thats a good price heck of a deal.

thanks, i guess i will have to get new pistons anyways,as i can feel the ring ridge on top of the bores,engine had 113.000,,,,30 overbore would be right?what is the price range i should expect to pay fo just the boring?,,,,will it affect the ecm as it didn't come with mass air? maybe alittle porting around the valve stems,not much else planned but new chain/bearings of course,which brand should i go for??
