Piston & Rod Recommendations - '68 Ram Air
Looking for piston & rod recommendations for a '68 Ram Air I engine.
Not likely it will be raced but would like something known for durability. Thanks!

I recommend bushed RPM H-beam rods & Auto Tec pistons, with the pin location you need to achieve zero deck height.
http://www.racingpartsmaximum.com/sa...elhbeam-2.html https://shanonsengineering.com/colle...at-top-pistons There are members here who can order Auto Tec pistons for you. The Speed Pro L2262F forged pistons are plenty strong, but are also heavy & have press-in type pins. The pin height is set at 1.714. So, you'll need to cut extra material off the decks in order to get zero deck height. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Speed-Pro-F...!US!-1&vxp=mtr https://www.ebay.com/itm/Speed-Pro-T...RWvhp2&vxp=mtr Some think Eagle & Scat H-beams are better than RPM H-beams. At the time of this post, the Eagles are about $65 higher than the RPM's. They're available in press pin & bushed versions. Part # for press pin version is CRS6625PP3D. Part # for bushed version is CRS6625P3D. https://thmotorsports.com/i-329470.a...IaApZ7EALw_wcB https://jet.com/product/detail/3cac8...QaAr-rEALw_wcB But, Cliff has posted that he has found most all the Chinese H-beams to be very close to spec. But, he & Paul Carter have also posted about some problems with some of the RPM 5140 I-beams. Last edited by ponyakr; 11-10-2017 at 01:10 PM. |

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.
