360 rebuild, some questions/infos

MoparFan said
Hey ... just got an offer for a set of 8 pistons Keith Black KB107 0.030 over with the pins ... for 250$ cnd, never use still in the box.
From what I have seen it looks like a fair deal, what do you think? Does the pins normally come with the pistons?

I don't see anything telling me the pins are coming with it, are the pins expensive?

Well maybe if I am lucky I can build it slowly gathering some good deals...

btw is these parts good quality and a good deal in your opinion:
MP Gasket Teardown Kit
MP Block Hardware Package

thanks again

The KB pistons come with pins and they also come with spiral locks if you happen to be using them with rods that are bushed for floating pins.

The machine shop that did the machine work on my 360 told me that he likes KB pistons because they are dimensionaly better and the weight more consistant than even high end pistons from the likes of JE, Ross, Probe, etc. He actually reduced the cost of the finish honing of my cylinders because he did not have to fit each piston to a bore.

At the current conversion rate 250 cnd is $217 US verse the Summit price of $188 US, not such a good deal. Before jumping you should consider getting the pistons as part of a complete engine kit. I purchased a kit from Mancini and had them upgrade the pistons to the KB107's and the upgrade price added to the stand alone price of the kit pistons was about $30 less than the stand alone price of the KB pistons.
