3.1l ironhead pistons

[sharkey]

im looking for some aftermarket pistons for a 3.1l camaro. does anyone know who makes them all i can find is federal mougal cast replacments. im looking for hypereutectic (would perfer) or forged, and im lookinf in the range on 9.5:1, but if you know of anything, post it pls. i dont want ot have to get custom pistons made, but at this point it could be my only option.

[sharkey]

ttt someone has to know.

anybody???

[TheProfessor]

i had my custom pistons made be wiseco

[sharkey]

ok, just out of curiosity, what did that cost???

[TheProfessor]

well it was for my 3.1 in my retta i bought like a whole rebuild kit but i would say the pisotns were like 900 if i remember they came with rings and wrist pins

[sharkey]

ok, but your betetta had aluminum heads on it right??? i dont ever remember a beretta with a gen 1 motor.

im talking about a gen 1 ironhead 3.1l, like a camaro used in 90-92, not a gen 2 aluminum head 3.1l like in all the fwd cars.

[sharkey]

ok well after more searching, i found the trw pistons in hypereutectic, so im good. looks like project "f*cking fast ironhead" is a go.

now i just have to get a "f*cking slow" ironhead to start with, lol

Sealed Power (Fed-Mogul) does have hyerpeutectic, skirt coated pistons for your 3.1 iron head. I've had a set before in my aluminum head motor for higher compression.
Part #H562CP

You make baby jesus cry.

[TheProfessor]

what???
i dont understand

[sharkey]

the forged steel pistons. fact is, there is no such thing as forged steel pistons for in most gasoline engines. ther are forged aluminum, steel would weigh a ton.

anyways, does anyone know what compression i would end up with the federal mogul pistons??? are they just the stock 8.5:1??? im realy looking for something higher than that, and i dont wanna have to take a ton off the deck/heads to make up for it.

[TheProfessor]

lol no seriously
i had them custom made
and they dont actually weigh that much

[sharkey]

hmmm, forged steel pistons.

my question is why??? are you running something stupid like a 250 shot of nitrous, or 30+ lbs boost???

No, seriously, they are aluminum. Who made them for you?
