Don't know if I need lifters, pushrods, and rockers?

Machine work - zero deck the block, bore cylinders .040" over, press all new pistons into the rods, install new cam bearings, cut head for larger valves, might have them install lumps?, maybe need align hone?

Do I have any options on pistons besides the ones from Tom? It says if the block is 0 decked, the CR will be 9.44-9.87. That seems too high for a turbo engine and like I'll just run into detonation problems again with more melted pistons (even with an intercooler)? It seems like I remember turbo engines should be in the 8.5 to 9.0 at the highest.

69 Buick Special Deluxe. Intercooled Turbo Chevy 250 @ 15psi on a stock long block. It's kinda fast.
