Have any of you guys ever priced some stock replacement pistons? I just called up the local Chevy stealership & was quoted $125....... I thought "not bad at all" then he said EACH. Is that really what they cost everywhere? I thought I might cheap out & go back with stock instead of forged.... haha, guess not.

You can buy forged piston cheaper than that. Stock pistons have a bad rep for breaking ring landings, so if i was you, i would go with the forged pistons. so if you ever do any heavy modding like big cams ,(for valve relief) and nitrous so no melted pistons, and for durability.

Can you tell me what the weight of those pistons are & how many cc's the valve reliefs are?? Also, since my block is a '98 I'm under the impression that I can't go past a 3.903 bore & your link lists 3.898 & 3.906 bores. Do you have anything in between?

Thanks.

I have a 99 block and I'm getting it bored .007 from 3.898 to 3.905. It's a relatively safe bore and the piston size (3.905) is a pretty standard one if you're going to go forged like I am.

that's what I wanted to do but i've seen on here where .005 is the most you wanna go on the 98 block so I dont know. There's so much mis-information on the intraweb it's hard to determine what is right sometimes. I don't know if the 98 blocks really can't be honed as much as the 99 & later ones or it's just another one of those 'myths'.

The cylinder sleeves on 98 are thinner, that is a fact. Choose your pistons to hone as little as possible while having a clean pattern on the walls.
