need 1 piston

I need one 4.00" piston doesn't matter the brand stock/aftermarket or
condition

I just need it to use to hold the rod so I can clearance for longer stroke before I get my block bored

dish dome or flat top

6.0 or 5.7 rod
could even have a hole in the top just needs smooth sides and the wrist pin holes intact

I dont want you to brake up a set of 8 for me if yours are useable as a set keep um as a set

You are clearancing before you bore? How do you know your going to clear the new rotating assembly? Just curious.

well my theory is bore stays centered it just gets bigger so if I use my new crank new rod and a piston that fits in the existing bore the rod will still be in the same spot on the big end so I can grind the bottom of the cylinder to clear grind the rails and then when the block comes back from the shop its all clean and shiney and I don't have to fill it up with metal shavings

maybe i'm missing something
and what do you mean by clear the new rotating assem?

Block and cam need to clear rods. Rotating assy = crank,rods,pistons. You need to use the piston thats going in that hole. You also need to check clearance with both rods on the journal. Results may vary. Depending on the parts you choose you may not have to clearance anything.

it will be ok
if the cams not gonna clear it will show with the smaller piston and I know for a fact as is it wont clear the block so I'm gonna do the necessary work to clear the block with the rods. The rods will still be in the same orientation with the different piston the rod wont be any different with the .030 over piston rods still centered in the bore even if the wrist pin is off on the single piston the amount that would effect the position of the rod bolts would be very very minimal
