Okay guys, I am building a 512 with 440 Source crank and rods but the block did not clean up until 0.060 over. 440 Source doesn't carry pistons for that bore size and stroke application so I am now in the market for custom pistons. Ken at 440 Source recommended some common ones: JE, Ross, Diamond. Has anybody had good or bad experiences to share as manufacturers go?


'65 Satellite - 512 6BBL; 10.8:1; 3600 Stall RMVB; 4.10:1 Dana w/Locker... Still tuning, going to the track soon!

I had Diamond Pistons in a couple of my motors and they seemed to be very nice pieces.

We had the same problem with a 400 block and went with Ross pistons. Nice pistons no problems.
