Where to get forged std bore pistons?
Looking for some that aren't low compression, but not having much luck. Does anybody know where to get some that aren't custom? Also needs to be for a 6" rod.

They carry Probe pistons at a cheaper price. Actually, they carry everything at a cheaper price.

A piston for a std. bore SBC must be the most common piston in the world. What are you looking for that you can't find? Maybe I am missing something??? Are you sure you need a std. bore though? Most of the time an engine is being rebuilt, the bores at least need to be cleaned up. Have you inspected and measured?

Yes the block has been inspected, I just honed the block since it was extremely good condition and I'm running some srp low compression forged pistons right now, but am considering just doing a piston swap to up the compression for a n/a setup.
I've looked and looked, but I can't find a FORGED piston for standard bore, a 6" rod, and with high compression(wanting 11.0-11.8). I've found non forged pistons, but its not what I want. Also I don't want to take the block back to the machine shop since its in good condition still.

Re: Where to get forged std bore pistons?
I think you are probably just looking at Internet sites. They typically don't list every part. I am not an advertiser here, or I could hook you up. Go directly to the piston manufacturer of choice and tell them what you want. You may pay a bit more than for a stocking piston though.
