96mm pistons

Post by mgbloke »

Anyone know what my options are for 96mm pistons?
I dont really want a reduction in CR currently 10.8:1
At present using 4.0L pistons in T hat liners.

Cheers
Mark

they are the same size as chevy 305 +50 thou pistons. +60 is more common hence if you can go .4mm over the 96mm then your choice is wider, being chevy they are cheeper, but you will have to find the right deck height and may have to reem out the little end to take the chevy gudgion pin (you will have to check on this).
Either way if you look on the sitesof the american piston makers you should find what you are after. Or secrch on the same sites for Buick pistons, but they arn't as common so will cost more.

Thanks Mike

Anyone used ACR automotive, http://www.automotivecomp.com/v8engines.htm
They have some forged 96mm pistons for very reasonable money.
