421 .030 over JE Forged Aluminum pistons, balanced rods, appx 11:1 CR

These .030 overbore forged aluminum JE pistons came out of our 1965 421 when one of the big end rod bearings started making noise. Caught before any engine damage occurred. Went with RaceTech .035 over custom forged aluminum pistons with a slight dish to drop CR to 10:1 (iron heads) and Eagle H-Beam rods.
I expect the pistons are 100% fine, 7 of the 8 rods are fine, the other one had a bad big end bearing, so not sure about that one.
The attention to detail and the number of parts of the engine that were upgraded in the build that included these pistons and rods show top notch parts and labor.
I'm running out of room, and I'd hate to throw these away.
Selling all together. $90 OBO plus actual shipping cost, probably $25

2 buyers, thanks PY forum!
I'm glad they aren't going to waste.
There are a number of signs that one of the previous owners did a VERY nice build. I took it to the next level, and right now, the Wraptor serpentine belt and accessory system and Vintage Air AC system and Dakota Digital gauges are going in.
Next up is the TKO600 5 speed that's in a box in the garage, Hydramax hydraulic T.O. bearing, useful now for easier clutch/PP control, but mainly to set it up for the HitMaster launch control system. My Roadrunner is having the Hydramax and HitMaster installed now, and if it is all I expect it to be, I can add it to the TKO600 easily so "the Mrs." can easily and successfully launch her car. Also replacing the Quick Performance 9" axle housing with one that has the CORRECT adjustable LCA lift bar brackets, is set up exclusively for coilovers, and is stock width vs 1" narrower (which I just can't make work)

I've tried to get in touch with you a few ways. Please reply here or a PM or text or phone call. I don't want our agreement to go excommunicado..

Ok, after way too many delays, 2nd house construction, COVID-19, one man business to manage, and a couple of hurricanes, I've taken Labor Day to degrease the pistons and rods. I'm not going to separate them, as they appear to be pressed in.
I'm going to reach out to Johnny406 again and ed boardman.
I'm sorry I got so far behind on this. I'll post again if they are still available. Thanks

Ok, Johnny406 is taking them. Ed is backup.
Please look for more parts for sale from our 65 GTO soon. Radiator, brackets, pulleys, etc. Basically all the stuff that the Wraptor system and Vintage Air has replaced. Also Rally gauges and other stuff.
Thanks PY forum!
