Old school engine builds, list 'em here...

Back before there were pistons available for every different combo, I built a stock stroke 400 and was looking to get the compression up. I did a lot of searching catalogs comparing compression height, and ended up with .060 over MP 9:1 cast pistons, which were .040 over in my 400, and ended up with 0 deck height. With home ported 452 heads it made 415 HP and 450 TQ, and pushed the cuda into the high 12's. Those pistons weighed a ton though, over 900 grams, plus pins. My new 500 stroker pistons came in around 550 grams.
