[WANTED] 1956 354 Hemi pistons

[70DartMike]

I'm looking for a set of standard bore 354 Hemi pistons, anyone have anything?

I'm preferably looking for the taller, higher compression pistons, that measure 1.95" from center of wrist pin to the top of piston. Quite honestly, if you just had a partial set, I would buy that too.

The lower compression, truck pistons (I believe) measure 1.75", wrist pin to top. Those aren't the ones I'm after.

Anyone?
Thanks

I think I have some stock ones from a 56 New Yorker. I will check.

Did you get a chance to look for those pistons?

The 1956 Chrysler 300 had the highest HP rated 345 from the factory at 355HP and 385 TQ and it had 10:1 compression, so those would be the pistons to try to find. I would contact Egge Machine and see of they have them. That's who I got the pistons from for my 331 and it was similar. The 55 331 was the highest HP rating for it and I got that style piston. Good luck.

Yes, that's the engine I have. The numbers decode to it being from a '56 Chrysler 300B, with the 10:1 pistons. I contacted Egge, they are only producing the lower compression pistons right now, and Hot Heads said they are only selling those ones.

8 + 1 pistons. Compression Ht is 1.954, measured with Calipers. Rings look like Sealed Power or Speed Pro, almost new I can still see paint on the OD. Piston diameter measures about 3.94.
