forged piston prices
hi guys, Im going to build a 73 455 .030 over. been looking at prices and Icon seems to be the most reasonable. I was shocked to see auto-tec 1016.00 at shannons engineering. the Icons are 700.00 with rings at CE. I dont see sealed powers anymore. the 2359 030 doesnt seem to be available. what have you guys seen? thanks, BLUE TA

SP 2369 has been discontinued. ICON, DSS, ROSS or JE....
I would check with KRE or Butler. |
For my money the J&E pistons are my pick!
Yup there like 100 bucks each, but they’re aloy allows them to go in with only ,003” clearance so the skirts last longer, rings last longer and the motor is silent on cold start ups! |
Might check with Paul K on this site.He is a Autotec dealer.My last 3 engine he helped me with.Tom
|
thanks for the info guys. BLUE TA

Check Spotts Performance. If the site is current, some good prices.

hi, thanks for all the knowledge and thoughts. BLUE TA

I don't know how much of a discount I actually get (I have an account), but I bought a set of custom dished AutoTec pistons a few months ago. With rings and shipping, they were MUCH less than $1,000!
|
just checked again, 1016.00 so I called and the voice mail box was full couldnt leave a message. ????? it must be a mistake. or extreme covid inflation. BLUE TA

JE SRP Pistons $569 https://pontiacspeedshop.com/srp-pistons-1/

Was very impressed with previous AutoTec 455 pistons that I purchased for another project. Will call Paul K, tomorrow, don't do FakeBook! |
Run JEs in my turbo car. Been together at least 11 years probably more now without even changing a spark plug. I used to sell parts for ATVs at the race tracks and certain guys were destroying wiseco pistons regularly. I watched them for a bit and realized these guys would come out late for the LCQ fire up and rip down to the start line. I realized the looser tolerances required for expansion were really loose on cold start and these guys were beating the piston in the bore cold .
So I swapped them to a WSM watercraft piston w tighter tolerances .gold coated the top and polymoly on the sides these guys went from Two months on a piston to 2 years! Shot myself in the foot couldn’t sell anymore Pistons or top end kits. �� anyway if your running loose tolerances make sure you get that piston up to temp before beating that engine at all My JE pistons are off the shelf nothing special no coatings Oh yeah don’t do Fakebook or shhhitter either that’s as bad as taking a lonely and posting it there. |
