WOW!! Those are some beautiful pistons...... You def can't beat an all forged rotating assembly, that one should be bulletproof!! Do you have to do any clearancing on the block to run the longer stroke crank and get the 418 cu in?

GOing to spray it for now. If I get the job that I am hoping to get then this summer a set of 6L heads will be dropped on it with a 88mm turbo and a 200 shot along with a built 80e. Hopefully I will be the fastest ec and maybe if I got greedy enough get a 9 with the turbo. I hope to hit mid to low 11s on the spray. I dont want to put a cage in it though and I need to learn how to tune so that will be a long ways away.

Dont think so but the machine shop will mock it up to check before they hand the parts and block over to me to build. Ill be going out to the track when HRP opens back up in Feb you should come out there. Some guys are oging out there the 18th check the southern section.

Better double count the pistons and rods. I liked them a lot. I tried to take one of each for a ride.
