Don't forget youll need to have the whole thing balanced again with the new pistons!

Let me guess......horsepower1 on Ebay or did you buy it from Brenspeed?

^^^^ is why him build mah mo-tah

SAME HERE!!!

Your new pistons will have a different weight than your old did, I'm assuming you had the crank balanced to your rod and piston bob weight. I'm not sure if you or a shop is doing this but your shop should know to do this.

Ohh ok...thanks for the imformation I appreciate it

 

[Rypper1]

oh ok i see...damn i hopefully everything goes right with my car if brenspeend does have them and if i do need the pistons ill just order them for next day air..

That will add a chunk to the price. Where are you located? They got them to me in a couple of days. They are in Pierceton, IN and I am in South Louisiana. Quick shipping without paying extra.

 

[romanGHR]

I am located in the deep south of Texas...who did you get them from??

 

[Rypper1]

Bought them from Brenspeed. Got here in two or it might have been three days. Free shipping too. Complete kit, rings, locks, pins, and pistons.

 

[romanGHR]

alright thanks ill be calling first thing in the morning!!

I bought mine from jdm they are 9.8 compression and they were cheaper than brenspeeds 8.5. I have 7 of the 8.5 from brenspeed that I would sell the eighth mine was broke. They only have 118 miles on them so if you can get just one 8.5 I could save you alot of money.

Hmm Never knew people were getting the wrong pistons from horsepower1(foundadeal). I had no problems with the kit they sold me but mine was high compression. I've bought about 6 things from them with a great experience. They sell saleen overstock and a ton of odds and ends. I got my 127300 cams for $350 and a $200 torque wrench for $10 bucks. Can't beat that.

Problem solved it was just the rod bolts hitting the windage tray everything is fixed and should be up and running by tomorrow hopefully...thanks for yalls imformation

LOL, how did that get twisted around to pistons hitting the heads?

And yes, with that stroker (I have the same/similar one) you have to modify the stock windage tray or run an aftermarket one.

Not entirely true, I just had 302 rotating assembly from JDM installed in my car, using the stock windage tray with no modifications done to it.

A 3.75 stroke will clear. A 3.80 stroke won't. Which is yours?

 

[romanGHR]

Everything was fixed with stock tray...we thought it was the pistons bit turned out to be the rods and tray

Supposed to be 3.800 stroke, when I asked about windage tray they even suggested using the stock one.

 

[19COBRA93]

Interesting. Mine is the 3.80 stroke and it definitely doesn't clear the stock windage tray without a little grinding.

Wow, good to hear.

 

[onequicktang]

it was the arp bolts that hit on my 3.800. A little bending of the stock tray fixed all that.
