Looking for pistons and rods

[Wally 91]

Rebuilding 3.8 but can't find forged pistons.Does anybody know where to look.

 

[DOUG H]

Sealed Power # H675CP
Ring set #E471K
Where are you purchasing the rest of your internals from,They can't supply?
What wrong with the rod's?

 

[Wally 91]

Piston and rod disintegrated.talked with engine rebuilder and bill over at scp,decided to tone it down.thanks for info

 

[Flex]

I have a set of those pistons and factory rods from a low mileage rebuild. Look like new if you are interested. The H675CP are hypereutectic, not forged though.

 

[Wally 91]

Sorry should have been more specific was looking for forged.decided to go for reliable instead of power.engine rebuilder has access to the pistons he needs.thanks

 

[Mike Puckett]

If still interested and needing I have a set of new forged pistons available along with new H-beam rods for them. Let me know if you'd like them.

 

[Wally 91]

Not anymore decided to go 300-350 hp so they say can get awawith alum.

 

[Mike Puckett]

I have a set out of a '94, just as they came out of the old motor.

Hello, do you still have a set of forged pistons for an SC engine?

 

[American50]

To anyone, are forged pistons absolutely required for a non-race, stock engine? I can't find any forged pistons.

 

[Wally 91]

No don't need them,went w/ aluminum. Thanks though.

 

[Flex]

They are all aluminum. Forged is just the stronger version.

 

[Wally 91]

Oh OK.but they have set already lined up.

 

[Flex]

Yes, you said that. Just letting you know that all pistons are aluminum, just different strength. Cast should never be used in these motors and Dave Dalke suggested that even a hyper is not a good choice for anyone trying to make 350 hp. Be wary of how hard you can push your motor based on the parts you use.

I think American50 was simply asking Mike Puckett if he still had the pistons/rods he replied to Wally 91 about on Sept 6th.
That's the way I read it anyways.

 

[American50]

Thank-you everyone for your responses. My machine shop did find a set of forged pistons, so I'm all set now.
