Again, wouldn't it be cheaper to piece the rebuild kit separatly? If you're on a set budget like you keep mentioning, you should piece togethet the gaskets to see how much money you might save.
The mishimoto radiator will work but you might need a adapter radiator hose so that it reaches the radiator inlet. Something like gate hose # 22382 might work. I don't recall how tight the squeeze was.
+1 for Scroggins, I just picked up my short block from them 3 days ago. They do excellent work.
Edit: If you want, I can look for the "new" oil pump that I got from the PO of my short block. I will have to look to see if I still have it.

I've debated whether or not to post anything. Your machine shop will tell you if you need to bore the block or can get by with a hone after they measure it. Then they will tell you how much of an overbore you will need, just like they will tell you if you need to turn the crankshaft down or not.

Don't forget to use these Supermiata HB ARP head studs to hold all that power in. Just torque to 90 ft-lbs like the instructions say

you want 9.5:1 pistons for 93 and e85 mixed use.
pump gas only you want 8.6:1
11:1 will knock on pump gas with any respectable amount of boost, so running e85 is pretty mandatory.
have you ever seen any one run 11:1 pistons here??
who cares if you up the boost by 1-2 psi to compensate for the lower compression? boost is free, pitted/melted pistons from DET are not.

I use the ones that you linked, but I'm low compression (8.6:1) and not pushing ludicrous boost. Had I known I'd have access to e85, I'd have gone with higher.
