Any piston is going to cost if they are worth their salt.
Picked a few things at Fall Carlisle 2019.

Down by Russes is a machine shop called O’Reilly automotive they turn my 427 crank main journals down for 34 8\409 block and It cost me $225 to have it ground to MOT and magna fluxed. The rods cleaned up at .010 big block Chevy diameter. Just needed polished. Only problem is it took me about a month and a half to get it. They grind cranks in groups and there’s not too many W motors Out there needing ground.
Going with an Eagle 4" stroke crank. Not sure which rod I'll be using yet, but it won't be anything stock.Hope you don’t use stock rods! Especially if you put a 348 crank in it

I would call a month and a half "expedited service" anymore Tooth.
How much are 409 truck blocks going for nowadays as I have a buddy trying to get my 656 60 over truck block from me and I don't want to give it away then regret it.

I will be at Spring Carlisle next month. I will have to check my space numbers and post them. I have 2 spaces available to rent if anyone is interested. $110 each... IG or IF row... just don't remember right now... These are in the infield, near the main road into the fairgrounds.
