I spent years looking for a 'drop in' piston and there isn't one imo. The nearest ones are chevy 305 or pinto 96mm. Both are cheap if you look in the right places but you'll need rod, bore or crank mods to use them. So, you may as well buy custom forgings and be done with it. Some pinto pistons come...

Coops, I've just seen this thread. You don't need to spend huge amounts of money on a bottom end if you keep the revs sensible. Big power (forced induction) can be had from any low compression build if it's got forged pistons and a decent ring pack. The stock 4.0/4.6 crank is perfectly up to the job...

Pah, tiz simple. Stick a single turbo onto one exhaust header and also feed into it with the other exhaust bank. Retain the rest of the exhaust system that you have. You don't need intercooling for 5 psi. You will need an oil feed to the turbo and oil drain to the sump. Oh and a rising rate fuel pre...

I cast h/d stroker cranks which will reach 5.5 with a 96mm bore. I can stroke them up or down and use a number of con-rod variants. The drawback is that it's not cost effective getting them machined as single items and machining can take eons to get done. I used to use a 2" chevy pin size, chevy rod...

They're really good imo. They have a nice light streetable pedal action because they don't need high poundage springs due to the increased plate friction area. I used one on my TT 4.5 and 5.0 rv8's many years ago and never had any issues. They're expensive though. I imported mine direct although it ...

Omega did cast and forged pistons so bare that in mind. Rockers are easy to check, lift a valve cover. Cranks were usually cross drilled by JE if using an iceberg crank casting. I'd expect blue rocker covers. Can you take the sump off and look at the pistons from underneath to see if forged or cast....
