13:1 Compression Pistons in 340 Small Block

The OP didn't want a Stroker. You guys can spend money for nothing right quick.

Bob weight is overrated. By a long ways. He can get a different piston, but it will be hell to get quench. I'd have to pull my bob weight card, but I don't think my Pistons were anywhere near 850 grams.

The point is...the OP has the Pistons. There is nothing wrong with them. In fact, I can make the argument that he may be going backwards buying a newer piston. Especially if that new piston isn't designed to come out of the deck.

Old doesn't mean bad. New doesn't mean good.

my last post guaranteed, yeaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

money for nothing and the chicks for free. any money spent on the combination of his current direction is a waste.

the idea for a stroker crank is a light piston with a reduced pin height. bob weight is NOT overrated. ok I exaggerated a bit there on piston weight but they are heavy.

hell to get quench? with those j heads for sure. like I said GET RID OF THEM duh.

and while old school is cool and nostalgic, new technology wins races at the track and on the street. it produces more enjoyable power on the street and new cars are proof of that.
