joshb from rochester. these are from ccfab, and he said its like a 2 month wait to get it…not to mention $300++. I didnt even want to buy it until i got the motor in, but I couldn’t pass this up.
ot: I FINALLY got everything I need to get the pistons lined up to notch that block if you’re still interested.

good luck notching. If you havent done it, i would make sure you have steady hands 🙂 Also I recommend having some sort of bottom end to throw in it fast to check your clearances.

In order to fit my wider forged pistons into the cylinder walls there needs to be grooves placed in the bottom of the cyliders. About 3/4" wide and 1/4" deep. Or else the rod will hit the block… alot.
