Oh NO!! not another small block build

I am not sure on the plans yet but I am glad I took it down to see where I stand. There is no way it could have been run as it was.

This is going to be a street car.

I have priced pistons and I have been pricing a few different build options.

Shopping for pistons is a bit confusing because I don't know the cc of the heads yet.

As far as machine work, I seem to be in trouble because it seems all the old shops I used to use have gone out of business in the last 5 years. I am a bit shocked to find out today that my favorite machinist has past. He was an old school guy but now his old shop is left boarded up and full of weeds. The nearest shop now is a big glamour shop 2 hours away that sounds like a bunch of kids, so I am not sure about that.

I believe that you want these to get around 9's in compression....

Speed-Pro Hypereutectic Pistons H116CP


You can order the complete refresh kit from Mancini and upgrade to the Speed Pro H116CP pistons as the ones in this kit are lower... You can substitute the Speed Pro for the standard pistons from the kit and just pay the difference...

Here's the kit C that includes most of what you will need:

Sealed Power Engine Rebuild Kit - 360

The pistons are made for either press fit or floating pins...
