All depends what your going to do with it.. If it's for a Sunday cruiser.. then the cast pistons are ok.. but If your going to romp on it from time to time.. go with the forged. I bought a set of forged pistons with rings & rods for $200. (from a member on PY) If the cylinders are rusty, your going to have to have to have them checked. They may go over .030.. then the cast pistons are useless. Best bet.. find a cheap solid 400 core block, and start building with the parts you want. Good Luck!!

Cast pistons...
are what came in GTO's, aside from the IV's and V's. They are lighter, hence easier on rods. I would not concern myself unless you are going to severely punish them and/or spray the thing. Good luck. Ron

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
