aren't the hyper. pistons used supposed to be not as good or something? One of my last posts people had been saying forged was better.

looks OK to me too but is there another option for different pistons that could be run through it?? 56cc's to make decent (9.0ish)?!

Sounds like a fairly stock re-build. The pistons should be fine for all but +9psi boosted set-ups. As for the C/R quotes, I don't quite believe them, I do not know or a KB piston that matches this. The big dish ones would be lower than that, and the stock replacement and flat top ones would be higher. I would assume they are the same as stock. But I would ask them what the piston is to be sure (ask what CC measurement for the dish and/or valve pockets of these pistons is).
KB makes a very good Hypereutectic piston, and should be fine unless you abuse them.
For that price, if i'ts any good (quality of work that is) than it's a deal, but shipping is going to hurt.

Yeah, they do a little bait-and-switch there. They say the block can produce 360, but not with the cam they put into it by default.
That alone would make me not trust them...just my $.02.
Is the cam that they specify even an H.O. cam?

I dunno if I'd wanted a block that's already been bored .040" over. God forbid something happens and you need to bore the cylinders.
.040" over is pretty much the max on a 302, right?

Even still, I'd pass.
How much does it cost to have a block bored over? If I was to provide the block and a stroker kit?

Don't like the hyper pistons and there's no way to quote HP #'s on a short block, they should've left that out.

I got a engine for my last mustang from these guys maybe a year ago. Nothing but good experiences with them, and didnt have a single prob with the engine the whole time I owned it. Dont knock it caz there cheap, I guess they make up for the low price by quantity.
Basically, the engine is built to be stock in every way there is. They model the 5.0 they sell after the 93 mustang 5.0 block.
eg; hyper pistons
