What is your definition of radical? Something wicked for the street? As far as internals go- Callies crank and rods are always a good choice. I have Diamond pistons which are also good, I also have friends using JE and Wiseco pistons. Fill me in on what you want out of the car and I'll be able to help you more

If you're looking to go all out, and mentioned doing the internals anyway, bump up to a stroker motor. Check out www.thunderracing.com and www.texas-speed.com . They both have a lot of options you can check out. If you're going to spend the money, might as well add some cubes while you're at it. Summit is good for some stuff...but they don't get into the real aggressive cams, etc.

Also, if you decide to call Thunder, ask to talk to Shane. He'll point you in the right direction.
