how big of a diference will it make to my ride if on the bottom end, i have the crack polished new piston bore it out 0.03 and then put on a new 2.3 lo head the has a PnP,  apposed to keeping the block stock bottom, and just replace the head, things to keep in mind  it is an auto, i will in the future most i will go  6-8 boost (might) if i find it i will put on a 086 head(when i could find it) cause i have the cam towers and cams from a w41 for later on, so is the bottom end worth  it ?? for about $675 for the piston heads, rings, machining, 
 
 
I can get you a 086 head for 450$ plus taxes(canadian of course).  Rebuild with new seals and springs.
Sealed Power rings are 130$ for the premium.
I depends on what you want to do.  A stock 2.3 rod can take over 300hp no problem.  That's why I have cast pistons and stock rods.
