Default Decently priced/quality stock size LS6 piston????

So I found an LS1 01 Vette longblock at my local chev dealer that came in on a warranty swap (burning oil). Was able to buy it dirt cheap and now I am freshening it for my Volvo. It was burning a pretty good amount of oil as evidenced by the huge amount of carbon in the groove near the ring lands. I want to replace the pistons with coated units and flat tops (no valve reliefs). Also these non-coated stockers have NO oil return holes in the 3rd ring land.
My question is this: Does anyone make a decently priced flat top stock size coated piston for a 346? No nitrous use or boost. Just a good running 346 with TSP stage 2.5 5.3 heads and their small cam 220ish I think.
The only ones I see are Speed-Pro for around $400.

Ideas???


Thanks, John

Look at SDPC website, I think they have what you are looking for . Just look in the venders list to the right side of this page and click on their tab .

Probe Industries has a budget piston that may be what your looking for. http://www.cnc-motorsports.com/produ...D=20202&CtgID=
