Forged Pistons

As far as I know, there arn't any. I wish there was a forged piston for the 200/250. They would fit into my Topaz perfectally.

There were forged pistons made for the 200/250, I've got a set. If I can't use them for the 221 then they go up for sale.

After searching online and making a bunch of phone calls I found out the L2217F has been discontinued. As far as I can tell, nobody has a wharehouse with some in it. I'm gonna check at work and see if by any chance I can get them through work.


BTW www.larryperformance.com is not up.

Bad news guys, I called Summit, Jegs, JC Whitney, and afew other places. Nobody heard of them. I finally talked to a guy at hm-performance.com, and this guy called Federated-Mogul and they said that piston was discontinued.

I'm gonna check to see if I can get them through a warehouse through work.

Start from Ted's post and read down. It's a good discussion on forged vs hyper pistons. Real-world results, too!
