Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

volaredon said

I never cared for dished pistons. Everyone sings the praises of a 360 around here, says to dump our /6s and 318s in a ditch, but the holy grail 360 (at least to most around here) has always been a gas sucking pig for me, and I have yet to see a stock 360 that doesn't have them.
I think the dished pistons that Mopar castrated the 360s with, are a good portion of the reason.

A bone stock 360 in an A-body with a TQ carb & intake and heads w/2.02" intake valves will go 13's all day long if it's got a little gear & traction. How much will it take for a Slanty to do it? It was small intake valves & cams that hurt the most, even tho' the low squeeze certainly hurts them plenty. Slantys don't do any better in the stock squeeze dept. even with the flat-tops.
