This is another one of those whats your favorite color question. Each tuner has there favorite parts. Here are some of the more popular ones.
Heads LS6, AFR, or 6.0
Cam 21 Cent Blower cam, MTI G1
Pistons Diamond, Wiseco
Rods Eagle, Lunati
Gaskets, most use Cometics(spelling is wrong)
Bolts, most use same ARP
Most tuners use the Stock crank. Its good to around 800fwhp
Hope that helps

Here is an idea of what I'm doing and go from there.
346 with Diamond pistons,H beam rods (9.5-1)
AFR 205 heads
216/220 .580/.580 on 115 Cam
lowering oil pump pressure for 60psi at WOT (80+psi now)
running my P1 at 10lbs
Easy 650rwhp with killer midrange.

Dont over do it and try to do it yourself. Call one of our tuners over in the states to try to get all the parts you will need. They would be more than happy to give you the parts you need to asemble everything. You can call David at MTI 281-870-8787 and I am SURE he will give you awesome prices and fair shipping to your country.

Sorry to hear your motor failed soo quickly. Save yourself a lot of time and money and get your replacement motor from one of our top-notch vendors (ECS, for example). ECS can also supply you with a tune that should keep the new motor living a lot longer than your old one.
Good luck,
Mark
