https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post8027266Dave, you can check out my pump gas build, complete with invoices... The pistons are Race-Tec. I've always been a big block guy, and when I started to do the small block, my thought was "I wish 440 source did small block kits!" After my experience with Rod at BPE, my feeling is more like, "I wish he did big block kits!!"

ok, I will when I get ready for next rebuild. do you think those pop ups cost any power compared to a flat top? what brand piston?
Dave... on the pistons thats sorta hard to say...to run them on the dyno then change over to a flat top and cut that much off the chamber most guys would never try... I myself try to run the flattest possible but I also have a .100 raised section to give me 14.1:1 on my W-9

Boy, you guys with stock blocks who have intentions of making serious steam have way more kahunas than I would have using huge stroke cranks. Of course having already broken a stock block motor and haveing had to build another motor, my concerns are probably more dollars and cents based. Tossing 4.125/4.25 strokes around in stock blocks with serious power thoughts in mind wouldn't make me sleep well

i couldn't agree more - if i had to do it over again, i should have went aftermarket block...
