rite guys some of yous may know that am after a fair bit of power from my car so i have getting hold of a spare engine that am goin to build to a good spec am after a few things and will require some help and info from yous lot cheers,

1st things 1st rods and pistons , am after some forged rods and some pistons the standard pistons are good for well over 400bhp so they will be good for me , but the rings have seen better days , does any 1 know where i can get some rings for standard size pistons , plenty ofplaces sell rods so they wont be a problem.
mains and big end bearings are still in good condiction but for safety am goin to put some new 1s in , standard 1s are easy to get but does any 1 know where you can get an uprated or harded shell . the turbo is going to be a well proven 1 for 400bhp on a 4cy car .
and is it worth stayin with genuine volvo bits for the oil pump head gasket etc cheers , and also a intercooler
thanks
lee
