These are the parts to need to purchase: Pistons, rods, pistons pins, rings, main bearings. Have a machinist take a look at your shortblock. If the cylinder clearance are out of spec, I would suggest you to run the oversize pistons. Otherwise your compression will be very low. Take a look under the crank and it will tell you what size of main bearings you need. You can either use the GTE or GE spec, there isn't that much difference. Keep everything in the middle and you will be ok.
