I am doing a LS\vtec build and was just wondering if it would be a smart idea to replace the pistons and rod bolts right away or would it be okay to drive for about 2 months without them and then replace them when i get more extra cash.

I would just do it all at once. Its far less time and work. Just wait until have all your parts, then do the build. *Do it right or do it again*

do it all at once so you're not tearing the engine apart again later on
