I don't know how much Rapid Parts wants for their Big Bore Kit, but 
Techtonics has a good kit (complete gasket set, main and rod 
bearings, 82.5mm Pistons - 8.5:1 thru 12:1 CR, 92.8mm OEM Forged
steel crank, and blueprint/instructions to boot) for $995.  I was 
considering buying the parts individually - i've been trying to find 
out which car the 92.8mm crank was built for (seeing if i can get it 
from the junk yard and rebuild it).  The best price i've seen on the 
82.5mm pistons made for the 92.8mm crank was $375 from 
Volks-Motorsports.  IMHO - The least expensive way that I've found
so far - I'm still looking - is to get the pistons from Volks-Motorsports,
the crank from TechTonics ($395) or from a junkyard, and the 
bearings/gaskets from a local parts dealer.  Questions, 
comments...Rude remarks?
