84 TRW pistons.
How much stronger are they then the stock pistons 86-96?
Is it worth to swap them with my 91 stock pistons? I got 8 for free by a friend.
Can they handel a blower?
Thanks

Re: 84 TRW pistons. (devilfish)
You should have the cylinders lightly honed. Then the pistons, and cylinders should be measured with a micrometer to check the clearances. I'm not sure if a blower motor has different specifications for piston-to-wall clearances, but I know the rings have certain gaps for blowers, and NOS. The pistons should also weigh about the same, or you will need to re-balance the crank. Good luck, and I hope this helps some.
