I am in the middle of doing a rebuild of my 88 5.0. The cylinder walls in the block are a little rough so it will be getting bored 0.30 over. My plans are to turbo the stock longblock for now while I slowly piece together a stroker over time as funds permit,, and then swap the turbo to the other motor. Is there anything special I should look in pistons or just go with stock style replacements?

start saving for an r-block and dont even waste your time with the stock block stroker.

Just buy a set of forged .030 over pistons and call it a day, pretty much anything will outlast the stock block.
