    Does anyone know if it is possible to get original, or replacement pistons for a 425 Oldsmobile 365 hp? I bought the motor and transmission that had been sitting for over 20 years, broke the motor down, pulled the crank/pistons and everything is good. but would like to replace these piostons, going bigger would not be an issue.

    If you have a name of a person or company that I could contact, that would be great.

    I think with some modification you can make 396 Chevrolet pistons work.

    Have you tried your local GM dealer? You never know your luck until you ask.
