needing some overbore 440 pistons

[biginch=bigfun]

Hey there,

I just found out i have to bore my 1977 440...so i'm looking for a good set of pistons, pistons and pins or pistons and pins and rods. If I have to punch the block out I'm not concerned with how much but i would like to keep my compression ratio as low as i can. I am gonna use a stock set of 452 heads & hp manifolds, a performer RPM intake w/ a Thermoquad 850.

Thanks in advance to all who contact me!!

Engines with decent compression and good quench run better and ping less than engines with lousy quench and low compression. That was the problem Chrysler had in the mid to late 70's when they lowered the compression to the point there was no more quench. They pinged on acceleration and dieseled when shut off. Here's a decent read about quench....but I have a set of low compression pistons if you are still interested..

This is a copy and paste from another site....

8 - 440 Pistons and rods

Almost new 20 over 440 Pistons and stock LY rods. The pistons look new but have some carbon on them. One of the rods needs to be pressed on to one piston. They have new rings in them.

I may have a set of stock replacement cast pistons that are new.

I emailed you about the trw .030 forged pistons I have for sale on here. Any interest in those?

Hey Louis the ad RED63440 posted is from over on For A Bodies Only. You can see a picture of what they look like there.

A huge thank you to all that responded! Through this site I purchased a set of pistons. Hopefully I can hook someone up with what they need in the future too.
