Hypereutectic LS3 Piston weight
Engine is only destined for N/A cruiser, so forged would be overkill.
My Target is 493g (piston) if that helps, perhaps MAHLE / CLEVITE if anyone has those weight instead.
EDIT- Answered my own question as such, but data for anyone else that is searching
SILV-O-LITE 3530HCA .25mm Piston & pin = ~640g ( only seen 2G variation over the 8) PISTON = 490g // pin 150g
As a side note, the OE GM LS3 piston 494.5g // pin 145.5g

If any of the builders on here might have used these and saved the info you might also get lucky.

OP,
UEM doesn't provide the weight for the UEM-3530HCA-25MM pistons. We’ve reached out to them on your behalf to get this information. We'll update you as soon as we hear back.

Hope that helps anyone else looking at these pistons or doing similar planning!
