young, broke and stupid 440 build

The reason it doesn’t vibrate with the 6bbl pistons is....... they aren’t really that heavy.
In fact, the Speed-Pro catalog shows a .030 over L2355 is actually 4 grams lighter than a .030 over L2266 piston, which is .070” shorter, but has no valve pockets.
It’s the big rods used in the 70-up 440-6 that makes the motor externally balanced....... not the pistons.

I balanced my factory 1968 440 rotating assy many years ago.
The stock std bore pistons and pins weighed 1086 grams.
Std bore L2355’s and pins are listed at 1083 grams.

This is a 1975 cast crank 440 with LY rods and externally balanced, so the 2355 weighs less than the factory pistons? I didnt know that, thought they were heavier..?
