Custom Pistons Recommendation
Posted: October 18th, 2009, 3:14 pm
OK i asked this question a while back, But really hadn't made up my mind as to how i was going to build. Now i have.
Here is what i have, 87 renix block, deck height of 9.447. 1980s 258 4 cw crank. Going to use the 4.0 rods. according to my calculations I'm going to need a piston height of 1.376 in order to get a 0 deck height. And 23 cc dish to keep the compression down in the 9s.Now for the question, Does anyone recommend a specific piston manufacturer? If so why? I am thinking of going with the diamond pistons unless someone can tell me different. Although i have not yet talked to the guys at 505 performance yet, They claim they have a set of Eagle rods and pistons for 1100.00 dollars. Which if this is the case and they are of the correct compression height i will be getting these. Unless someone can give me a better scenario. Any and all comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
