BME forged dome LIGHT pistons + eagle h-beams + springs/ti retainers/locks, CHEAP!!!! I have some parts that are leftover from a short stroke project that I was going to use as a class project engine here at sam, but I am lacking alot of expensive parts (heads, block) and I've decided to go blue oval with it since I already have what I need for that. Everything is with me in Houston, tx.
The pistons are BME (bill miller) ultra-ultra-ultra lite 4.080" bore forged dome slip skirt ls1 13 degree pistons. They are for ls1 blocks that have been dry sleeved out to a larger bore. I was going to knock in some dry sleeves and use 4.080" as the first size with the capability to bore up to 4.125" if needed (.........but I never found a block to start doing that with). When I say these things are light, I mean they are some of the lightest pistons I've ever seen in my life. Just look at the pictures, they have all kinds of lightening holes. They have never been ran in a motor, but they have been installed and mocked up. They were installed in bores that were too small and that didn't have all the grit from honing washed out. When they were running the motor in on the sim test, the combination of both caused the skirts on the pistons to scuff up. They were not galded or worn out (they still mic out perfect just like new), its just they have scratch marks on the skirts from being in too small of a bore with grit everywhere. Honestly, you could just take some 1200 grit and have them "looking" new in a jiffy, but they are fine as-is. After they were pulled from the motor that never saw fire, they sat around in my garage forever. The pistons are all balanced with each other, and they have spiro-locks that go with them, but I don't have any wrist pins for them. I don't know the exact size of the domes, but they have all been hand smoothed and the valve pockets are huge. They have vertical gas ports too! The compression height on them is 1.3" and the ring pack is .043/.043/3mm.
The rods are 6.125" eagle h-beams that were used for about ten passes in a ls1 and pulled to go stroker. They were in great shape and were checked out on both the big end and small end and length, and are good to go back into service. The only thing is that they sat in my garage forever right next to the BME pistons, and a few of them had little spots of surface/flash rust start to show up on the beams but nothing major (can barely get it to show up in pictures). It is humid where I live, so that stuff just happens. The rods have the ARP L-19 bolt upgrade.
These rods and pistons together with a dry sleeved ls1 block at 4.080" bore and stock stroke will make 378 cubic inches. I'd like to sell them together as a set, but I will entertain offers for each of them separately. The only thing you will need to find are wrist pins and rings.
I'd like to get 350$ shipped for the piston/rod set as a combo, or 200$ shipped for rods and 200$ shipped for pistons.
The springs are PSI 1500 series double springs, 1.475" OD, and are rated at 240lbs@1.950 with a spring rate of 635lbs/in. The retainers are manley titanium 7 degree, and the valve locks are super 7 for 5/16 LS1 valves. There are only enough keepers for 8 valves, because I was going to experiment with 3/8 stem mercury filled hollow exhaust valves. I snagged this setup off of a motor that had dyno time on it until they decided to change the valvetrain setup, and I am keeping my 3/8 super 7 locks to use with a big block.
