Hey Bob, thanks for chiming in!

I'm with ya' on Diamonds; they have earned a pretty good rep.

I believe that the pistons Brandon at the Source sells are KB forgings; I think they're in the mid four hundreds range for the same stuff at the big online stores.

Ya' know, I don't think I stressed this enough, but this is a very bucks-down kind of build (we're using all stock shortblock, with the exception of cam, rod bolts, and pistons.

Jon was originally just going to freshen the engine as a stocker w/ a cam, but the bores were just a little tired for that.

So, I'm looking for options to cut some weight off the pistons and help the rest of the lower end live easier.

BTTT...
