If you're in OK, I'd check O'reilly's thats where I got all my stuff, much cheaper than Autozoned and Pimp Boys

oreilly's wanted over 600 for everything but pistons and the zone wanted over 500 for their kit with pistons. Now all these did have the cam and crank with them. ne where else to look?

why do you need cam and crank?
what you need is new piston rings, new crank shaft bearings, new valve seals, and gaskets.
you don't need pistons, cam, or crank. just reuse what you have now. they are probably in great shape.
it is the bearings that needs to be replaced probably.

ok, if I get the colt mild triflow will I need to do anything different?
Look at this website and tell me which kit you would get?

Oh, this guy says he has pistons for standard, 20, and 40 bore. Has ne1 bored their engine out like that and what kind of gains did they get. I ask because I can get a bore job and a port and polish done for around 200. what do u guys think I should do?

Go for it (minus the bore)...I charge like 500 for porting and polishing depending so hit up that deal!
