Click to expand...

find a 87-92 shortblock, throw the heads on that and use the stock cam If you want to buy different pistons go www.trickflow.com They have some pretty decent pistons. I have probe flat tops for mine and they have two sets of valve reliefes cut into them....one for inline cylinder heads and the other for tw's

Go to CHP.com,or just buy the proX forged from D.S.S.They both have great prices,DSS is in Illinois,CHP is in cali.Your choice.If your wanting to put pistons in it,go all the way and get forged aftermarkets.

Ross pistons are really good. they're the pistons i have. very nice pieces. Will work with TFS twisted wedge, High Port, or Canfield Avenger heads due to three valve pocket design.

* Check to make sure this part fits your application

Keith Black hypereutectic pistons are serious pistons that don't cost an arm and a leg.
Keith Black hypereutectic pistons are made from 390 alloy and heat-treated to T6 standards, which makes them 30 percent stronger than ordinary untreated hypereutectics. Their 100 percent CNC-machined crowns, high upper compression-ring location, gas-accumulator groove, drilled oil returns, and spiral-lock retainer grooves make these pistons outstanding for performance applications. On top of that, Keith Black's hypereutectic pistons have a lightweight rigid-rib skirt design that stabilizes the piston in the bore. All of this adds up to pistons that fit tighter than forged types, provide improved oil control, reduce blowby, increase ring life, eliminate cold start-up knocking, and won't cost you an arm and a leg!

would these pistons work on a set of trick flow heads, thanks agian.

kieth black makes twisted wedge pistons #'s KB311 and KB312. I am not a big fan of kb hyperuetectic pistons though. They are 312 dollars or so I think. Look those numbers up on summit though

I have run the KB 312's in the past with a 100 shot on them with no problem. I have a set in .060 over brand new if interested. Dome style will give you about 11.1 comp.
