my first engine rebuild (318) advises

i will put most of my money this year to shortblock, pistons, rods? new bearings, pumps ect.

IF my stock heads are good shape i will be using them next summer, after that, rebuild but most likely swap.

compression goal is about 9.5-10:1

Last page frosty the punk suggested these newer 318 piston, those dont work whit stock rods BUT could i use eagle sir rods, or scat rods with those pistons.
Total cost would be about same, and i would get new pistons and rods about same prize as KB.?

i have just get engine opened and calculate actual compression ratio before buying parts.

i have tools to measure decks, cranksaft bores, most of things exept pistons bores and i need balance whole thing.

i have that book and factory manual to guide me on basics.
