Who said the KB was no longer made?

I haven't asked about them in a while. My source was
http://www.vpwmailorder.com/ieframeset.html

ACL makes a very similar piston.
351C crank(3.5")/302C Rod(6.025")
ACL #8MKRY9356(3)

isn't 3434H an aussie market piston? and that's why it's hard to make the other end of the phone believe that it is available?

The KB tech at the customer service number told me. He said its no longer being made. For them to consider start back, they would need a demand for it. Like a large quantity order.

I've got different question for KB. Why don't they make a version of the 351C piston with a 0.975 pin? It would be so easy...

Nothing is easy for KB

Their site has been down for over 6 months. The first KB tech guy I contacted said the 3434H wasn't one of their pistons. I have to ask every tech question twice. I asked about a dished version of the 3434H but KB doesn't make custom pistons, not 8 at a time anyway. Minimum order is 300 sets, probably the same goes for a .975" pin Cleveland version.
I don't know how many were originally made but as far as I know, VPW is the only company who sells them. If they want to re-order, they'll have to buy 300 sets.
ACL is worth concidering, they make a lot of pistons.
The original application is an Aussie 302C using a 351C crank. The longer 302C rods require a shorter piston.
