just wondering. . .
the machine shop i took my 6.0l to assured me that they would give me Speedpro Powerforged pistons installed on my stock rods to put my engine together. . . (they wont warranty a shortblock, so i have to assemble everything myself). . . but from what i can see Federal Mogul doesn't make speedpro powerforged pistons for LS family engines?
I hope this guy wasn't blowing smoke up my @$$
if i get hypereutectic pistons i may actually get upset. which never happens

well, I hope you're ready for the price tag of those powerforged pistons, they're about $63 each without rings. A full set of rings is about $150. The powerforged pistons are available in 4.0" and 4.02" sizes on summitracing.

thats cheap for pistons, probe are over 70 each
i might shop around and find a set myself. he said he wouldn't mind if i did, which i'm thinking that means he doesn't know if he can find the pistons

Here's some Probe pistons for a little less than what you were expecting. Not sure if you were wanting forged or not.Originally Posted by molitor

none of those are for stock rods
true, and the 408 pistons are for a 6.2" rod rather than the std 6.125" rod. Stock rod length is 6.098 IIRC.

It was more for a pricing reference. Didn't know if it was for a 408 or just a stock 6.0 either. I know when I bought Probe pistons they were only about $480 a set.
