Hey guys, so about a year ago I had a set of forged Ross pistons from MSA that I was going to put into my turbo block. Basically, everything was ready to go, my block had been machined and prepared, I just had to file my rings down to spec and drop those sexy pieces of forged goodness into their 87mm homes. The only issue was, 6 months prior I left for the Army. When I came back home I lost interest in spending money on Z's, (I know.. blasphemy ) so I sold them and kept the block just in case.
My problem now lies with being bit by the bug once more and trying to locate pistons that will fit my needs as I can't justify spending that much money on premium forged ones like before. I feel my power goals are too modest (sub 300hp) to fork out 800 bucks alone on those a second time. I've searched the forums and the web alike but I am still not sure what pistons from other vehicles or makes will work for my application.
Basically, I want anything that is quality and will fit my 87mm bore. Cast pistons are fine, I just want quality. Any recommendations because I cant find anything that I know will work due to my ignorance on the subject. Should I just go to 89mm and use the KA pistons that are common in the 3.1L builds? How can I tell if a piston is compatible with the l28 Rods?
Thanks guys, sorry for the noobness... Ive been on here to long for this nonsense on my part
