I dunno about cast pistons, seems like everyone I've talked to has said to use forged, something about the cast pistons turning into little pieces of pistons and doing bad things to your block! I've got 7 barely used TRW forged .030 over, flat tops that I'll give you for $150, you can buy one from Summit or your local parts house, set of rings and you've got your pistons/rings for just over $200, shit I've got a good D1VE block that's fresh from the machine shop, bored .030 over, a set of fresh D3VE heads, a 2Y crank that needs to go .010 under on the rods, standard on the mains, 460 Performer intake, 750 Holley dual inlet, vac secondary carb, 1" open spacer plate, what will you give me for any/all of it???
It's time to get that fantasy wet!

I wish we would have talked sooner, im already $400 into it so i kinda have to keep it.   Im still fishing on pistons but the machine shop cant do shit without them sooo....... i got to do something pretty darn quick.

Which TRW's  do you have i would like to checkem  out on Summit
