    Hi all,

    I'm trying to round up a set of .040 over forged pistons in order to get our Caddy engine back together in a timely manner.
    Cast would be the second choice.
    Hypereutectic third.

    Any one have a set lying around that might be available?

    Thanks,

    Go the route I was just advised...SBC pistons with **** or Manley Rods. The Caddy rods are the weak link
