What manufacturer would you go with ?
The build is budget based for a B engine for standard duty, nothing built for racing.It is a 63 361 and no one has 4.125 bore pistons off the shelf other than low compression truck slugs.The engine block is low mileage and the bores check out fine and I really don't want to or have to bore.I have a passion for Chrysler's unwanted red head step child engines.
Your suggestions will help greatly as I have a strict budget that I want to stick to.I plan on new rods at about $500 or recondition what I have at around $300.Another $500 for pistons there about is where I'm at. I know that many manufactures have 4.125 pistons for Chevy engines that may work but doing searches I come up with nothing other than using Ford rods and allot of expensive crank work that will kill my budget.
I guess what I'm getting at is I hope to not get just flat "no" answers when I call piston manufactures.This will give me a head's up.Anybody been down this road ?
