In response to panhandle

panhandle Said:

Does anyone have a suggestion on which pistons I should purchase, such as make and part number with the 18cc dish?

K-B 147 has 18cc dish.
K-B 168 has 22cc dish.

These are very nice hypereutectic pistons, but since they are designed to keep heat in the combustion chamber, top ring end gap must be set to approx .0065" per inch of bore, depending on engine usage. When I worked for a 383 builder 8-10 years ago, K-B hypers were our default pistons for street engines. We never had a single one fail in the 2-3 years I worked there.
