Title: Any Cast b-series Pistons with floating wrist pins?
Post by: 88dx on February 02, 2010, 04:48:02 AM: Is there any cast b-series Pistons with floating wrist pins? I have a set of forged pistons i got from dustin in my motor now but they are pretty much fucked and IDK why i put them in. All I want is a cast LS piston that i can use my eagle rods with. I sent RS machine a e-mail to see if they made any but all I see is ITR/CTR that have floating wrist pins >:(

So anyone know of any?

You could always try to get a machine shop to machine lock grooves into a set of stockers.

I already have the eagles so if I could use them I would.

is that the only piston they make? I need a 81mm bore.

Eh, whatever floats your boat.
