Piston question

In OP's case he has to buy pistons
He could get cast rebuilder pistons for less and if he is going to get FT pistons he might as well
He can get 0 deck FT pistons for just a little more but he needs to keep his compression resonable for no quench
or he can get the quenh dome KBs for about the same and build a higher compression ping resistant engine
with some more work but not that much more compared to the whole build
thanks for the explanation RR - you nailed it- stupid 68 smog head Mopar decision
and it's not about the 20-50 hp
you can get more race fuel race compression HP with an open chamber head
just don't drivei it below peak torque
we did that in stock classes like forever
op what cam are you referring to?
Mopar's are not inexpensive to build
yes closed chamber heads are a better option but heads + Pistons are out of many's budgetss
When we were rebuilding Chrysler Motorhome and bus motors we were had to change the pistons too but there were no aftermarket heads available- first we welded up the hambers and used a piston designed lie the Famour TRW "Turbo" piston- a D cup
then quench dome piston from my late good buddy Nick Arrias we used to have lunch together with ED and big John in Gardena every Wednesday
Those forged pistons were not cheap but cheaper than welding the chambers and pistons
essentialy the same choices today and for the same reasons- or not
first we
