piston choice, 355 I am building up a 355 this winter. I am using LE2 H/C and need some reccomendations on pistons. I was thinking SRP or Mahle. I want to use Scat I-beams, 6in. I have no idea what pistons to pick in correspondance to the heads... Do I need to worry about C/H, dish volume, I cant find pistons anywhere that list cr for 54cc heads either.. 
Also, floating or bushed? I am sorry, thanks in adv once again

Run a flat top -4 to -5cc valve relief piston with the LE2 setup. The chambers are closer to 58cc when they are done on the LE2 heads. I would run a bushed/floating I beam rod in 6" length. That means you need a 1.250" CH piston. I run Mahle pistons when there is a application for them, they do a much better job with fit and finish and the pins and rings are very nice for the money. The last set of them I had in had perfect pins, rings side clearance was perfect and everything went together smoothly. As for the JE/SRP side, well I can't say that my experiences were as good over there, or ever have been.
