PISTONS needed

Hi, I am in the UK, starting to collect bits for engine rebuild. We have Real Steel, I just wondered about suppliers in US, and if prices compare well- you guys will probably have better options.
I want between 9.5 and 10:1, 20-30"over.
Any suggestions of make and suppliers? I am originally from South Africa, and had very little exposure to resources there, since these engines were looked down on in a big way....
More on that later.
Thank you
Johan

Im using Ross. Probe is another good company for cost effective custom pistons, but they aren't taking single set orders at the moment.

I don't know if there are any off the shelf oversized pistons available here, I think most guys order them from the UK.

Try D&D performance, WWW.aluminumv8.com, I believe he has a bunch of pistons listed for sale, not sure where they are from or the price.

If you happen to find something cheap here let me know and I will ship it to you. I gave a guy some sensors for a T56 I had laying around because they were ridiculously priced in the UK, and he had some stuff from Summit or Jegs shipped to my place to send also. Apparently most places charge a fortune to ship overseas.
