Chevy?
Crank-billet?-Crower-callies
Rods-Eagles-carrillo
Pistons-too many to list-ross- I like JE
Block-dart
Valves-too many to list-ferrea(sp)-manley, titanium or Stainless for the intake and inconel for the exhaust
Valve springs-too many to list-velasco(sp), K motion
Definitely valve cover spring oiling if you are looking for spring endurance.
Camshafts-too many to list- rollers are good-longevity would be in question though-crane-comp
Solid roller lifters
Push rods-i like Smith brothers-good guys to deal with and on the ball-
taper, double taper, titanium, chromemoly, and i think carbon fiber now, too many to list
Just my favorites, maybe PM Infomaniac or some of the other gearheads on the forums.
Not mentioned, but use ARP hardware on everything if you can. not worth the risk.
Studs for the mains and heads hands down.

Piston dome oilers? Cool.
I have only seen it on motorcycles. I didn't know it was being done to V-8's

Block - Dart
Crank - LA Enterprises, Callies
Rods - Carrillo, Crower
Pistons - JE, SPR(if you don't need a special profile), CP
Cam - Billet is Billet, I'm running an LSM, but the magic is in the bumps not the stick ;)
Lifters - Isky or top end Crane
Valve Springs - Isky Gold Stripes
Valves - after seeing my Ferrea's before they were installed, there's nothin more pimp ;)
Cam to Crank linkage - Jessel Belt drive. Less movement in the timing if you go with a distributor in lieu of a crank trigger, the adjustability of the cam timing on the dyno is a nice plus
Rockers - stud: Comp chromolys or Isky/Clay Smith Aluminums shaft: Jesel, but ask what RPMs you're going to be spinin before you pony up.
You can buy more exotic/expensive/possibly durable stuff, but at some point it becomes hard to draw the line between good and overkill.

So true.
