cheap forged pistons?
 

so now we have the hookup on rods thanks to tuner toys, I was thinking "mad sicc, I can get the piece of ---- ls block finished now" and then I go looking for pistons, my race engineering catalog lists the cheapest pistons for LS for $409 (wiseco), that's not that cheap. ebay isn't turning up much stuff either. so does anybody know of any places to get cheap forged pistons? or am I going to end up spending $400 +

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

I have some brand new CP pistons I am selling for 10 bucks, but they are for a d-series motor and won't work in your car... sorry. ;)

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

Actually I was just making fun of Kyle because he has a b-series. I don't really have any pistons for sale. :P

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

I know you were kidding. ;)

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

cheap and forged pistons dont really belong in the same sentence unless they are used. my srps cost 380 something from race engineering. best price ive found

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

looks like I'll end up getting the $400+ ones from raceeng then, in a couple years when I have the money. I'm not going to buy srps, I've seen 2 sets of those melted in d-series blocks, I'm not trying to see a set melted in my ls block.

How much are the Endyne Rollerwaves? Wiseco makes em for Endyne so quality shouldn't be an issue and Endyne usually has pretty good prices on their stuff.

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

i believe they're around 400 as well

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

with rings and shipping (retail) your looking around 500 bones.

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

that sucks for me, my block is .020" over, I'm going to need 81.5mm pistons, correct?

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

I don't know. there's all the specs, go check your bore and if they will fit than send me money ;) I ordered them for a GSR but specs are specs.

Re:cheap forged pistons?
 

I can't measure anything for ----, I'm getting something like 3.193 with my digital caliper, but I can't measure anything for ----.

Re:cheap forged pistons?
