I would suggest Callie's crank and rods, wiseco pistons. Give us a call at the shop, I will help ensure you get the correct parts.

I just looked up Callie's crank and holy hell they are nice. But holy fuck they are expensive. That might be over kill for what I'm wanting to build. I'm not sure I will ever turn her up past 700 and if I do it won't be above 800.

Id reco Lunati or Sonny Bryant crank, Oliver or Carillo rods and Je or Venolia pistons... but it might be out of the budget.

Callie cranks and lunati are the same price. The rods you mentioned are the same as Callie's as well. This isn't something I was going to buy all at one time, so the cost will be spread out a little but damn at this rate I'm looking at a 7k short block or more including machine work. The damn block I'm looking at is almost $2300. Damn the price of having fun.

Look into the Callie's comp star line. Those parts will more then suffice for your build.

That's better, damn those other were insane. I will say I like the dragonslayer crank as well by Callie. It's only about 500 more not 1100 more like the other cranks.

Yeah the dragon slayer stuff is badass, but over kill for your setup. The compstar stuff will easily hold 1k more then you will ever need. Will need to get them to grind the rod journals to a 2.100 but that is no issue. Stop by the shop one day and we can talk a little more in detail about this and get you setup with the correct parts.

I will do that. I need to get a path started so that way when my motor lets go I will a have everything ready to build.

All of that is waay over kill for his setup. The parts I mentioned Will be good for around 1100-1200 hp. Should give him plenty of room to grow should he choose. And IMO wiseco pistons are far superior to je in every way. The last 10 sets or so of je I have installed in the past year, I have been less then impressed with. Just my .02
