Forged pistons/rods are always going to cost a grip. dont expect to pay less than 100 per piston and 150-200 per rod, and then rings. Do you want to lower your compression? or want oem spec pistons? You can get "premium" pistons that cost more the regular cast and not as much as forged. Machinist will tell you what you need as far as main and rod bearings, they shouldnt have to go 20 under unless there is damage or it is very worn (you dont want to have to grind the crank to much unless necessary). If those toga bearings cost much more than aftermarket oem equivalent, i wouldnt buy them and save the money. OEM type bearings (many aftermarket manuf.) properly installed with mic'd/ground crankshaft with proper size can withstand plenty of horsepower and longevity.
