I've seen Mark's SS headers. Nice stuff, but out of my budget on the first go around. I'm hoping the 273 will be half of that $20k or less, preferably less. For an engine that will make about 325 HP more or less, I can't see putting $2k rods in it. I think I found the Ross pistons for around $800, hard to say what the ring pack will cost? My idea of cheap headers is the $200-300 ones. They used to make some 1-1/2" primary ones for trucks, but I think they are all 1-5/8" now. I'd like to dyno test with the cheap headers to figure out what size I need before popping for the mid-range headers (sub Performance Welding, above the cheapo headers).
