Probably $100-$200.,if you have a shipping dock somewhere near you where you could pick it up-its usually about 33% cheaper.

You have to be careful what you buy TTA's have different pistons.
If you use a GN shortblock, and the TTA heads your compresion will go up.
Maybe you should look at getting the block crank and rods and then buying pistons and doing a rebuild.

Not aware of the pistons being different on the TTAs-thought only the heads were.?

The TTA piston has a deeper dish to make up for the smaller chambered heads. (10cc's or so.)

There is also a fedex freight across the street from me, and changing out the pistons on mine wouldnt be that costly.
