piston questions

I'll be @RustyRatRod 's amen corner for not using Hypereutectic pistons in a truck motor used for pulling. Been there, done that when I didn't know no better and got to do it over! :BangHead: Get you some forged flat top pistons and get your cam reground for a puller motor. Just clean the living daylights out of every single little piece of the motor and put it together. I had an 84 D350 single wheel pickup with a 360/727/4.10 Dana. It would pull my car trailer easy as pie. The longer arm on the 360 crank provides the torque in the right place for a truck that is used as a truck. Like you mentioned, my 84 truck got 12 mpg city, 12 mpg Hwy, 12mpg pushed out of the back of a C130 at 40K feet! Good luck with your project.
