Default Which companies will make a custom 4032 alloy Piston?

Hello All,


I was looking at some options, and one of them requires a custom piston to get what I want.

However, having said that, I am not willing to sacrifice engine/piston longevity to use a 2618 alloy, as I prefer the 4032 for street use and A LOT of daily driving miles..

Not saying the 2618 is bad, because it definitely has its place and use for Boost and nitrous engines, but, I have seen the 4032 Alloy pistons last much longer (AKA - Factory GM and Ford Forged pistons are 4032 alloy).


Are there any custom piston manufacturers who will make a piston for me out of 4032 alloy?


Thanks!!!

Thanks Black on Black.... Yep, Mahle is at the top of my list for quality, but, I was looking at needing a custom piston for a 4.060 bore with a 4.0 inch stroke and a stock length rod and smaller piston pin.

I don't know if they would make such a thing.... and if they did, how much $$$$$$ it would cost
