the pistons CAN be bought new for around $600-700 a set. 2nd hand ones you would have to take on face value only.
Power you can expect from a late model head with early cams/pistons.... probably in the realms of 150-160 horsies.
Now with a mild forced induction (as queried) of around 4-7psi you can expect probably around 160+ horsies.
You can see where the forced inductin helps - it also increases torque a lot, which the N/A motor won't. Also the turbo would probably be easier to drive around town. Its all up to you my friend. I was going to go the N/A route, but when a full rebuild costs around $3000 i thought - NUTS TO THAT! So now im concentrating on EFI and either S/C or T/C?
P.S. i have only been doing this abour 1-2 years also mate!
