 piston weights -- david_r, 01/15/2005
Does anyone know the weight of factory pistons for 1973-1976 390 pickup truck engines? These would be the pistons that came with the 3U crankshafts. I'm looking for factory original piston weights, not aftermarket. Thanks for the help!

the auction site or classifieds. C8OE 6090 N is the part # you're looking for. Expect to pay $500+ for a complete pair and they will probably need a valve job . I sold a nice pair last year, I think they went about $680.00 off a solid running engine

yes you can use the solid plugs but wen i do a fe rebild i tap all the plug holes and install allen plugs in the holes i,v had a plug come out in a engine for a custermer and had to eat one now thay all get allen plugs.......

That little jiggle pin was to help bleed the galley. I have just put in solid plug no problems, A friend of mine drills a little hole in a new plug then puts a cotter pin in the hole.

 RE: Still looking? -- Gerry Proctor, 01/14/2005
You could give Perogi a call. They probably have one but you'll pay far more than you think it's worth.

It's really nothing more than a straight rod with a flat portion at the shifter that is secured to a sliding bolt to adjust the effective length and a bent part at the trans arm. Unless you're going for a show event, it would be pretty easy to make one out of 3/8" rod and a couple heim joints. Probably less than $20 for the whole thing. Just a suggestion so take it for what it's worth.
