Need forged pistons for 454 .030 oversize
Well, I brought my 454 mark 4 magnum down to the machine shop yesterday. This was block and crank. I had hoped that it would not require a bore, but it appears it does.
My question is... Is Summit racing the best value for forged pistons? I don't want to go radical with compression, I would like to keep the mild dome so I can run on pump gas. I have Gen VI heads so I assume that they are 118 cc.
Does anybody have a good set or two? I have not brought the 2nd engine down, it will likely need the same deal.
Thanks much.

Ive been using the L2399F+.030 pistons from speedpro. I usually get them in the engine rebuild sets from Summit for around $500 which is a good deal when the pistons alone are $400. Im in need of a set now also for another engine build. Let me know what you find.

I have a set of .030 8.0:1 hypernutectics in excellent shape if you are interested. You won't be able to beat the price.

Tom, I'm busting my hump trying to get the boat ready for this season. Another surgery is coming up and I won't be able to do any work after June 13.
