Keep the oil pump off until after you time it so you can see the crankshaft marks.

I've seen pistons with 4 reliefs before. I think some jeeps have them.

I wonder why it has the two reliefs so it can be rotated 180 degrees, yet it has the dot towards the front of the engine (so it can't be turned 180*). |

You might consider new ported heads.... since you will have them off, and you will be replacing valves anyways.
not cheap... but when you subtract what you will already be spending...

Yea, I have thought about that as well as forged pistons too but I don't know. A blower will be the last thing I add to this before I'm done.

UPDATE** And lots and lots of pictures haha.
So I removed the driver side head earlier tonight, learned a lot doing it too. Found the number 7 exhaust valve bent pretty bad as well the number 1 exhaust valve. I removed all the valves and springs and checked out the head, nothing really that I can see that tells me I would need to get them resurfaced. As far as the pistons look, to me they actually look better in person than what the photos show, its actually not too deep either, I am still going to show the photos to shop and see what they think. The passenger side was what stops me from cranking it over all the way so I will tackle that tomorrow. So Like I said, here are the photos:
