Sealed Power is good stuff. Mahle makes good pistons as well if you need an option.....

I don't think those are the right compression hiegth...I made the same mistake once, put one of the pistons in and it was like .020 down the hole so I would have lost all kinds of compression.

I used those in my rebuild as well. So far they are great, although I only have 500 miles on the rebuild so far. I got mine from Summit Racing for $79.12 and the part # was STL-H273CP20 ( mine were .020 over sized)

I stuck these inthe 350 i droped in my Camaro 2 years ago. Main reason I went with the coated skirts was to help with any piston slap I might get going to a .040 oversized piston. All it is is extra insurance for ya. If you are only doing a .020 over bore, regular un-coated speed-pro pistons should be fine.
