Slant and AFX Guy
anybody know of any off the shelf pistons for the 225 stock rod length??
What rod you talkin about usin? If you wanna use the 198 rod, look at some of the 2.2 Chrysler pistons. Remember, they start out at .045" over from a standard slant bore. So that means a .060" over 2.2 piston would be .105" over for a slant. You'd need to convert the metric oversizes, but they will come real close.
Buddy of mine used late model GM V6 pistons on his slant. I'm not sure on the bore size. I do know they were way cheaper than the slant pistons.
Buddy of mine that built the motor checked his files.
For the slant that's bored .100
2.8 Ltr Chev piston. The bore size is 3.5039
Use 198 rod to make up piston height
The Chev pin bore is .905 and the slant is .901. You'll also have to bore the pin bore .004.
83-85 173 V6 part number 464P. Bore size is 3.5078. Using the 198 rod and boring out the pin bore you shoud have a deck height of .020. Shave the head accordingly to get the desired CR. You should end up with a slant of approximately 238 CI
I was thinking Chevy Vega pistons??
What is the bore and stroke of the engine at hand?
Then, look into other piston sites with these raw dimensions.
Egge machine can make some slugs for you that are cast. They should clock in cheaper than most other places charging $1,000 plus.
