I'm working on my engine buildup but I need to get pistons bought so the machine shop can match the cylinder bores to the pistons.. problem is, I don't know where to get the pistons? I want to get about 9.5:1 CR using the stock heads (64cc chamber) and stock stroke. Help!

Timmy2734 is right. Call Brian Adams at AD Performance http://www.adperformance.com/ I bought all of my rotating assy from him for my 600 in big block. Real nice guy and he will probably beat any price at Jegs or Summit.

I'd call him but I work every day from 8am-6pm (usually later).. Are they very prompt at responding to emails? I need to do something very soon. I did find a set of keith black pistons in my jegs catalog that produce a 9.9:1 CR, but I'm wondering if that is too high. ie. will I have to run 93 octane fuel?
Thanks
