Cast pistons, who makes them? As title says, who makes cast pistons for the LSx engines?
I have searched and not found any info.
I would like to use cast pistons in my would be stroker to be able to run thighter (stock) piston to bore clearance.

Ok thanks, but that was bad news.
I might have to use plan B, using stock L92 pistons in a tall deck LSX block.
That will for sure take care of all issues with piston knock and/or oil consumption.
I havenīt done the math to know where I end up CID wise, but a short rod stroker in a tall deck block should make it possible to use stock pistons I belive.
The short rod will also enhance the low Rpm Tq potencial.
Before you 1/4 mile guys ignite your flame throwers, please take in the fact that I am building a truck engine for towing. I donīt care about max Hp, I want Max Tq at 1200 to 2500 rpm, and stock NVH and oil consumption.
This is what I am aiming at but in a Lsx package:
