Who makes billet rods/forged pistons for the 4.8IS motor??

I may need to swap out the rods and pistons on a 2005 4.8IS motor. Can anyone tell me what companies sell these parts I need and or what the connecting rod length and writst pin/rod bearing bores are? Also need some dished forged pistons...

Mahle pistons & Carrillo rods.

Arrow makes a rod set as well, but if I wanted rods myself, I'd go to Oliver with a design any day of the week and twice on Sunday. For pistons I'd go to Ross with a design. (But that's all just IMHO)

Wow, that is a really tall price for rods and pistons especially for an engine that may not handle the power im looking for in the first place. looks like I'll probably be putting an LS Chevy motor inside it instead. Bulletproof, far more reliable, and can make power at the 1000hp level with daily driver reliability.
