| Jahns Pistons |

Just had to show & tell what hawkeye John Saxon found for me at the Monroe, WA, swap meet last weekend.
He'd seen these pistons last year and we'd talked about them being a good replacement for my original 352HP cast units, one of which, #8, has been broken since the summer-o-'68. The last time the '60 Sunliner has been on the street under its own power. Maybe they'd still be there.......
There they were again! Same guy selling them. John always keeps an eye out for me for that special air cleaner or whatever might be usable for my going on five year project.
Jahns .060 over 352, forged 11.5:1 slugs. Never used including wrist pins/locks and even instructions! Shall I run these with the COAE-D heads? Just kidding. I don't think I could use that kind of compression. But if I have that dome machined off making them flat tops, they should be a nice durable replacement for my resto rebuild of the original 352HP short block...someday. I know they're way too heavy by current standards. But they're just too damn cool to pass up for a mere $125 and the deal was sweetened with a full set of rings and 16 brand new ball/cup tubular pushrods!
Swap meets are still better than eBay. Thanks John for getting the deal for me.
Well I've been trying for half an hour, what a waste of time, to attach the photo but it's too big...over 550 pixels. Whoa. I can't seem to load it after reducing the size by half. So no photo showin' off for me. Trust me, they're neat pistons. |
