I don't recomend Forged pistons for a street engine, they require larger piston to wall clearance, are expensive and . WHY??? Egge makes very fine pistons and 3 ring pistons for the 3 5/16 stylr. thes can be ruN with .002' Clearance. prolonging ring life. And they are expensive. However, I do use them in the hi performance engines. Save money and have a better street engine.
Gramps
I didn't want this thread to be just me telling Youse guys what to do, there are many others here that can offer their suggestions as well.
