Where to order custom pistons
Where to order custom pistons For my engine build, I'm planning to use 6.067-in length LS7 rods with a factory GM 3.622-in stroke crank. The LS7 rods also use smaller 0.9525-in pins compared to standard 0.927-in pins. The block is a factory L92 with 4.065-in bore.
So obviously this will require the use of custom pistons. I've emailed both Diamond and Wiseco TWICE with the details and I have not gotten any response
Does anyone have any idea what a set will cost me? I'm anticipating $800-$1000 from what I've read on here.
I've also read that they are cheaper to order through some engine builder than from the manufacturer directly, can anyone make a recommendation?

I took my set to two machine shops and they recommended against it because they said the stock bushing looks to have some type of teflon surface coating.

If you have to get a custom though you can just keep that .925 pin anyway if you wanted.
