Default Forged pistons for gen4 rod ?
Who makes a 3.905 piston for a 6.098 rod? Gen 4 rods are plenty strong and would be putting pistons in the motor for more compression and a valve relief . Not for holding lots of power .

junkyard dog ?

Wating a 12:1ish comp 347.

Just a heads up, I got these on sale for Black Friday but in the 4” bore size. The pins are .945” which will need the small end of the rods honed to fit.

Thanks for the heads up.. Might just pickup a cheap set of forged rods. My cost on these pistons is under 400!
