Heads up Help for you guy's about 5.7

You guys must have good dealers then, I know back when I first did the swap and was looking for parts the dealer was usually my last option. They almost always had the parts, just some ridiculous prices. Set of piston rings? $40 a piston, and when you need 8 that adds up in a hurry.

I have heard that some dealers are better than others though, and it never hurts to make a friend behind the parts desk. I don't think the one in my town is really high volume or a primary dealer or something, so they're usually higher than others. What got me is that one day I needed a front main seal and really wanted it same day so I could get the front cover on and seal the engine up. I called around to three or four different dealers in the nearby cities (because the one in town was out of stock) and got three different prices for the same part.
