Been thinking Pure Stock

What kind of pistons are generally accepted.I'm sure nothing light weight but what are you guys using? I guess any legal stocker piston right?

 

Pretty much.

Anything that has the head design and weight. There is not a replacement piston listed for my car so I purchased the off the shelf units closest to the originals I had. Flat top with valve reliefs.

Could not use the originals.....needed an overbore and they had the pesky oil ring groove cracks common with 427 low risers.

 

I have the Speed Pro forged pistons in my motor, they are acually heavier than the stock GM ones........

 

That was the case with mine also Donny.

But were all cheating.....oh wait I was channeling another site :laugh:

 

Brian, did you get my e-mail about buying all those cheater parts ??

 

Donny, Brian is the one who invented them.................Just Kidding,...Just Kidding........................LOL. I'm trying to be nice! Beleive me, it's been a long day. o No: Time to drink a soda pop.

Jim :beer

 

yep, TRW forged, 30 over. I'd like to build a motor with a set of the original W-31 pistons I have, but who knows when that'll happen.

 

Have you looked on the JE piston site yet.

They have a lot to pick from and they sure look pretty........

 

i thought it was embelishing not cheating.that sounds so bad. o No:

 

Yes I did, that dual disk, aluminum flywheel, slipper clutch is my favorite though.

Oops, I was embelishing. :laugh:

Yea, that does sound better.

Really though, I'll give you a call regarding the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch on the shelf.

 

How about connecting rods? Are aftermarket rods allowed?
