Here is a set of American made 10.5/1 Flat top Forged Pistons.
These have been on the shelf in the shop since the last century.
These are a much better metallurgy and consistent machine quality
than the India or Chinese pistons you find today
They do not have their skirt coating that I often find in the pan in
after the first few thousand miles.
The materials back then plus consistent machining tolerances allowed you to run a
tight skirt clearance for better sealing and longevity.
They had a couple or three of races on them in my 440 Six Pack 1969 Roadrunner
That held the B/S stock record but are very nice low use condition and ready to put
in your car. I ran them a pressed pins so NHRA could not weigh any of my rotating
assembly separately. they had no way to unpress a piston pin at the track to find out I
was fudging on my weights!
$195.00
$9. Shipping
