Looking for pistons specs....

There are many of piston related questions. I would like to complie a list of pistons with all of their information including: height, dish or dome CCs and material. This way everyone will have a quick list to look at for their build. If you have some specs list them here.

Please only use this thread to post specs. Thanks!

Forged 390 pistons, TRW (or speedpro ) L2291F, 1.776 tall, flattopped, very heavy. TRW L2292, 1.776 tall, with domed top, out of production & hard to find. Hypereutectic 390, SpeedPro (sterling ? ) H395P, 1.759 tall, flattop. SpeedPro, H304P, 3 1/2 inch dia. shallow dish, decent 390 truck piston.

piston specs

RatS, shall we add the KB 150, available in 030, 040, and 060 over, it is 1.78 tall with a big step for quench and a D-cup dish. Looks like a nice 9 to 1 piston for pickup trucks. Dinosaurfan

piston numbers

Guys, I thought a refresher on piston numbers might be nice, so I posted this to get this thread back up front. I would do a 'sticky' on it, but I don't know how. DF

Why not just add it as a text link to the sticky already in place at the top. Would be great to have several things like this (piston options/app CR, parts mis&match(ID), rough dyno estimates, calculators, etc...) Could be a lot of cool stuff tagged to the main sticky you knowz...

Talking how far back from the dead....?

since we seem to have alot of guys lookin for part numbers on pistons, lets see if an old thread can be dug up out of its grave and have the breath of life blown into it......a golem thread, if you will. if y'all have new part numbers to add, by all means. Some of these numbers may be out of production by now. But probe & diamond and JE can all make just about anything you need. DinosaurFan

Can we put a sticky on this ? I'd do it, but I don't know how.....
