Re: Correct Rebuild Kit? 355

Do a search on this kit. Yes it will work for you, but most have agreed that its really only good for a STOCK rebuild of if you are fixing a blown motor just to get the car sold.

The pistons in this kit are HEAVY!!! And will end up costing you more at the machine shop to have everything balanced.

Re: Correct Rebuild Kit? 355

Im just doing a stock rebuild, with cam upgrade. Im not planning on doing any FI applications.

Is this not as good as a factory engine? My machine shop guy said these type of pistons should be fine as long as I don't plan on using nitrous or a blower.

Like I said HEAVY. As long as your buider understands that go for it. Malory(sp?) slugs at the machine shop will cost you an arm and 2 legs though.
