'January 1970' ........ Back-in-the-Day

My Father was building his 1968 Barracuda 340 for Super/Stock for
the upcoming 1970 Racing Season.

He decided to go with Arias Pistons {Nick Arias}.

He called Nick direct, to order a set of {+.040" over} 10.5-1 Lightweight Pistons.

Nick Arias tells my Father ........ "No can do."

Nick Arias > "All that anybody orders, are Chevy Pistons. Nobody has ever ordered Mopar 340 Pistons from me yet."

What To Do .......

Nick Arias tells my Father he has an idea. He will get a set of {+.060" over} Chevy
350 Pistons {4.060"}. He will take the 'slugs' and machine them accordingly to fit
a Mopar 340.

Nick Arias made a custom set of Mopar 340 Pistons which measured in at 4.058".

Yes {+.018" over}.

My Father got the 'First Set' of Arias Pistons ever made for a 340.

I don't know what that means, but we got that going for us.
