i use an icon 836 with the edelbrock rpm head. with a clean-up cut on the block quench will be .045-.050 with a felpro 8519 gasket.

There is nothing wrong with the KB pistons if you follow the guide lines on the install and there use. If you have a blower or plan on using nitrous then that's not what you want.

i agree with this 100%. i've used the kb pistons and if the instructions that come with the pistons are followed they work fine. in fact my next build will use kb184's; for the third time.

my builder just don't want to use the KB's ... looks like we are going with SRP pistons .. will keep ya posted
Thanks very much !!!
