Piston specs
By Rob - 12/13/2002 1:34:39 PM; IP 128.255.81.30
Am I jumping the gun? I was about to order some Ross forged pistons for a 428 buildup (361/391 block sonic testec & bored to 4.13). When I got the build sheet to order the pistons there are a lot of questions I can't answer yet. Should I wait and order pistons after I can answer all the questions? The folks I am ordering from (Campbell) seem willing to help but they are primarily a (dare I say it ) Mopar shop.

I put the build up sheet with what I know on it below.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
