i keep hearing about this phantom of a motor(VG38), where is it possible to get the pistons needed for it?? how much for something like that...???

what else would be necessary for that big of displacement?? MPFI with higher flow fuel injectors? is TBI out of the question? and what about head work and air flow?
which rods would you use? i imagine the VG30DE/DETT for the added strength....
i have tried ing. i have read every single thread i could find on this subject so far... looking for more answers...
my other option is the VH45 piston setup.
here going to go the VH45 piston route. ...

And getting the heads ported... seem like that is a necessary/beneficial upgrade to do? estimated cost to do this port job would be ???

will all of this be ok to run with my TBI intake??? or are the two ideas not compatible.?
if not i guess i will be going back to my original plan of MPFI. with obd1 ecu.
which would be less work and more of a bolt on upgrade? more money??

i wish i could find just one person that has a VG38 at least so i know that it is doable. cause so far all i have heard are rumors.

its all custom work,vg3.4/3-8e is not a factory engine, after you bore and stroke the hell out of a vg33e block you might get to 3.5/.6 safely but you are thinning out water passages before you get that far,major mill work is required to pull this off!/and some funky engine voodoo would help
