well i dunno about you but budget puts a big limit on what i can do but if you can swing it it would also be wise to go with forged connecting rods too =) maybe new rod bearings etc..

You ALWAYS change your rod bearings if your changing your rods. Rods aren't a big problem but if your going to boost it, it can't hurt.

A cheap option would be SOHC pistons off ebay, but it seems more like an urban legend than a real power adder when you look into it seriously. Besides the $$ to power ratio isn't there with NA unless its for a dedicated track car.

I would suggest building for boost if you have the money. And possibly more reputable brands than Ebay for engine internals.

What are you trying to build it for out of curiosity? lol at me asking that after tossing out blind advice.
