piston help for 350 swap
I was wondering what pistons i should use for the 350 block it has not been bored and will not be. The chambers look pretty smooth. I just wanted to know what pistons i should use. I got vortec heads and the tpi going in it. Im also thinking of adding a turbo next year so i need to know what will work.

Re: piston help for 350 swap
Looking smooth isn't really enough, you'll need to measure the bores to see if they're in usable shape.
Piston selection depends on what you want to do with the car. If you're going to put a turbo on it, it'll depend on how much boost you're planning on making.

oh yeah probably about 7-8 psi. I am checking out diferent turbos right now. I was wondering if the sts turbo kit for the camaro lt1 will also work with the third gen since they mount at the exhaust exit.
