IM building a LT1 out of a 95 Trans am for my 69 camaro. The engine i got has 127k on it. IM thinking replacing the piston rings and bearings would be a good idea because of the high mileage.

But i don't know where to find them, does anyone know where i could find replacement piston rings and bearings...

i would really appreciate it, thanks

They are the same as normal SBC parts. Autozone will have what you need even.

Actually the rings are a little harder to get - order GM if you can't find them at your local parts house. If it helps, the pistons are hypereutectic (sp?) and have narrow ring lands. Standard Chevy V8 rings are too thick.

Thanks for clarifying that Geoff.
