Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 It seems like there is going to be no way for me to get around not going with forged pistons. So I'm looking for some help in what brand and what kind of price range to expect. All I've found so far is a set of JE for about 885.

SHANE Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 i paid $850.00 for JE 8.5:1 WITH total seal rings. i bought them from top end. very easy to deal with, JEGS was 20.00 more and i would have to fill out this complicated form for custom pistons. with top end i just told them my block head combo, bore, and what compression ratio i wanted. shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I paid 68 bucks a piston from Ross Racing, about 110 for tapered chromoly pins, and I used sealed power rings that were under 100 bucks for 2 sets ( for a 4 cylinder ). They have one nice guy named Rick, hope he is still there, and an *******, so ask for Rick. Flat top, with all the bells and whistles. Nice looking units. Ross also has thier own rings now which are likely made by sealed power. They seal well. Mine have not had an easy life, and after 4 hard years, good compression and no blow by.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Top End has a special right now for the JE Pistons for 775.00 they come with rings and pins. They also has a special on basically all that you would need to do a rebuild other than the machine work for 1995.00 Lockjaw, what type of spec did you have to give? Were they familar with our applications? Thanks again for the all the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETEW Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Geez, I am in the same boat you guys are in. I would like to give my car a good rebuild, but I would rather do it right and put in forged pistons right away. I wish money was no object, but that would be a lie. Guess I will have to do some searching like you guys. I would love to get that combo on E-bay . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
