piston selection help
Hey guys,,,,,This is what Iam working with first of all
64cc iron heads
5.7 rods H beam style that are floated
350 that will need .040 pistons.
block has not had any deck work.
I looking for a CR for 91 octane pump gas.
For some reason I cant find the right combo of piston and head gasket set up. I find a piston but then it is not made in 40 over...Geezs this is frustrating. I can deck the block if need be....
I did find some Diamond pistons but the suggested price is 700 bucks, surely I can do better than that. And Iam afraid to use the Hypertectic (sp) pistons.
Iam not racing the car at all just riding around fun and sometimes bring it up to some good speed.... I will have a Hdy roller cam in the engine as well.....
Any body have any set up they like they will like to share...
Thanks Lee

350 Chevy? can you say MAHLE? just like the NASCAR boys run. Excellent quality, good value. J&E, Wiesco, SRP are some others that quickly come to mind but, for the $$ MAHLE is about the best. Das is GUT!
