Rebuild parts sources



Hey IHers!

 Progress has been slow but steady on the 392 rebuild. I'm about done with
dissassembling the engine. When I removed the #6 pistion, I discovered that
the oil ring had broken, and had worn a groove in the cylinder wall. I'd 
been hoping to reuse the old pistons, but I guess I'll have to have it
bored and get new pistons. I seem to remember a discussion some time ago 
that TRW no longer makes forged pistons for the 392 - is this true? Has 
anyone found another source for forged pistons? Does anyone have a 
recommendation of a particular brand of rebuild kit? Should I just talk 
to NAPA? Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in the Boulder/Denver 
(Colorado) area?

 Any help appreciated!
