Reply to "Piston/Cam selection"

I can't recommend a cam; thats the job of the cam grinders' Tech Lines, which all the grinders provide. You tell them what you're using in the engine and the expectations you have for power & use, and they recommend one of their bumpsticks. Most if not all KB pistons are cast-types; some are hyper-eutectic which means they have more than the normal amount of silicon in the mix, but cast nevertheless. TRW makes both cast & forged; forged are recommended for big power. TRWs are only available in std and 0.030-over sizes, and it is not recommended to bore a 351C AT ALL, but if you must, go only 0.030 after sonic- checking the block for wall thickness. Many 351Cs had enough core shift that the blocks are unsafe for performance use at std bore! Other mfgrs such as JE Pistons can custom-build any size, compression etc. Just be honest with your expectations: a full-on Winston Cup engine does NOT make a good street motor; generally, the more power, the shorter the engine's life Have fun!
