I searched and found only one inconclusive thread on these 440 pistons. Apparently it is an old, superceded TRW part number? Anybody got an old TRW parts list that might be able to confirm that? I'd like to know the specs on these...
Thanks

googled it & only found "flat tops w no valve reliefs" EDIT old TRW forgings are very heavy combined with the nearly 2"CH

I think they are 2388 pistons not 83....83 is a chevy piston. 2388 is a low compression 440 piston with 1.92 comp height

Thanks !!What year is the catologue would this be for the new coated skirts{unsure when they switched although Federal SP uses the same part number for the old non coated skirts vs the new coated . This excert states .001@bottom of shirt ?????? this clearance is more like cast clearance range even if it were taken at the usual top of skirt . {mine are NOT coated }Can this be a typo?? Others plus my machinist } tell me I need .004 to .006 clearance to run the old style TRW heavy slugs L2316 what gives ??

.004-.005" rings a bell from when I had a set (TRW's) decades ago. deinititely not .001", that's a floating pin to rod spec
