Default Re: rebuilding my l36 427,need piston advice

I am about to do the same -- let's see what the panel says. I have looked at hyper and forged pistons and both have their advantages. If the RPM is kept below 6500 I think hypers will do the job with less piston slap due to tighter tolerances -- also better oil control. Many new HP engines use the hyper pistons. Forged work well also -- best at higher RPM ranges.

I will be using a set of 063s (right at 100cc) with a lot of porting work.

So I'll stand by for the experts ...
