arias makes pistons, i dont know about the other stuff. my mechanic said it would cost about 2k to rebuild the blown usdm 7a i had.

Custom is pretty much your only option. The 4agze pistons will fit but that won't do you much good unless you plan to turbo because I believe they'll lower the compression ratio.

i thought the made dome pistons for n/a 4a's. anyway, i always go to raceeng.com (or net, i'm not sure). they have a good selection of the top names in engine components. you won't find anything specifically for the 7a but they can make you a set of custom rods to fit some 4a pistons.

just use the 4a pistons and a 4a Blitz (or hks) .5mm head gasket. that should help out with the compression change. I'm fairly sure the 4a gasket will work. after all, the head itself does. >>

4afe and 7afe heads are the same... use a 4a-fe head gasket to gain compression, as well as using 4a-fe pistons on a 7a-fe....

if you want a spare head to have built or P&P and not have downtime, i have a 4a-fe head for sale ($50 plus shipping, as is... should be machined and possibly new valves)
