Default Need 4.020 Pistons! Any Sponsors?

I'm building a L76 6.0L that came out of a burnt out Cop car.
Water had been left sitting in the Bore's from when the Fire Fighters had put the car out....
The Bore's are to far gone to get away with a light Hone
So now I have to grab some Pistons & Rings, also if the price is right I'll grab some Rods.

I've already done a search of the Classified Threads & sent a few PM's..
So if there is any1 out there selling or know any1 possably selling:
4.020 or 4.030 FORGED FLAT's (Preferably with Valve Relief)

If any Sponsors could PM me with prices, that would be much appreciated!

BTW: I live in Australia so I'd need it Shipped Internationally obviously.

Cheers!

Just get a custom piston... Most manufacturers will make you one. Wiseco made my custom pistons.

well id go the least amount oversize as possible. but If the car is just NA and you have no plans of going FI or NOS. then 20 over should work

Cheers for the Tips Guys...
I had an optical at the stores you mentioned (online) LSXHAWK.
It looks like i'm up for Rods aswell... Nothing seems to come with a FKN .945 Wrist Pin!
+ then i'll need Bearings if thats the case.
I got this Engine Cheep, But all said & done.. The eventual cost of this re-build, I might as well of just imported a complete fkn crate Motor!

I can get the piston you want with the proper size pin in that bore. Just shoot me a PM or give me a call. Diamond makes a piston like that for me.

Thanks,
Shane
