Default Forged Pistons

Dont know how I will go but I'll try any way

Im rebuilding my engine, 2lt Pinto, but need to go the next size up in piston (currently std bore) so Im looking for some over sized forgies with a comp ration of 7.5-8:1.

I may also have my existing sets for sale, 1 set of TRW 8:1 and 1 set of Cosworth 7.5:1 forgies both standard size (90.8 mm i think) but I will see how i go getting a over sized set first.

Any one that can point me in the right direction would be a great help. I was hoping to have it done by the Jamboree at the end of August but looks like it could be some wait now :

Default Pistons

Mate, have you considered resleeving the block and using the standard pistons you already possess.

That will be my next option which i will probably do any way coz i dont want to fork out the big buck for new ones. Any one have any ideas what sleeving could be worth? Might give the local engine machinist a call.

If you contact (0395871588) during bussiness hours this fella should be able to point you in the direction you wish to head. He will probably need to know what your up to to do this, but is a wealth of information in regards to going quick.
