Hello all,
I'm have the numbers matching block swapped into my T/A. I'm pretty much starting fresh. I would like some input on what to do.
Wayne Smothers will be doing the build. He has mentioned pistons with quench pads, domed pistons(require race gas) or flat pistons (lower compression). Does anyone know of an off the shelf 340 piston with quench pads?
Also, on the cam, I would like a little more lope than stock, but not aggressive enough to affect the driveability. What input do you guys have or what have you seen others do in the past?
Thanks,
Koby

I am, he said Dwayne said we would have a hard time finding the pistons with quench pads off the shelf, just wondering if anyone else knows of somewhere that has them.
