70 dart swinger slant turbo build and mild restoration

Is weisco the only company that make pistons for the slant it seems like a pain to have to buy special rods I did have a custom piston made once to make a big bore Honda old 200 3 wheeler I think made by ross. An affordable forged piston and an off the shelf turbo header would really make the whole process easier

The Wiseco pistons are a little over $400.00.... the rods are more like $650. The rods are spec-wise (center-to-center) 7.005", the same length as a 198 rod. IF you can find a set of useable 198 rods, it would save you the cost of buying them from K-1. They seem to be increasingly hard-to-find.

I would imagine you could get those pistons custom-made anywhere that manufactures forgings like that, and specify that the wrist-pin location be kept in the stock 225 place. You might or might not beat Wiseco's price. The stock rods wuld work fine, I'd bet.


Good luck! :cheers:

The Pishta Pipe is probably your best bet on exhaust, and I am afraid it might have to be a DIY project; I don't know of anybody making them for sale. There is surely a market for them...
