But that was 3 years ago, they didnt make a domestic piston blank small enough for my poncho so they used a toyota blank

and machined from that

They are close to $1600 new without rings and rods +shipping...
So didnt think £400 all in ballanced to the rods was bad....

These stock replacement pistons are stronger than the factory pistons in 2000 - 2002 Vipers. They are specifically made to handle the specifications of forced-induction engines. Pistons feature a bore of 4.000, compression height of 1.280, wrist pin diameter of 0.945, wrist pin length of 2.750, and weight of only 472 grams. These are direct replacements for the 2000-2002 stock cast pistons. They have better oiling qualities and ringland placement to reduce piston failure and allow much higher boost levels. Rings are file to fit so every specification can be taken into consideration for maximum performance.

Baz,

You might need to check the ring gaps, if you need to file them give me a shout as i have a ring file tool, if the previouse person was running a boosted application the gaps might be to large for you unless your going boosted
