Hello all! Looking for thoughts on a quality and reliable brand of pistons. Engine is a Ford 302 out of a Mustang II. Probably making ~400 HP. Want to go with the hypereutectic type. Want to stay away from the cold start slapping and blowby from forged.
Thanks,
Kurt

It's been a long time since I rebuilt my 302, but I went with hypers that the machine shop ordered for me. I think they were TRW....

TRW Hypereutectic here. About 3500 miles and going strong. No complaints.
