If your interested. I am going to need to replace the pistons in my stroker block. The ones in there now are .030" over coated speed pro's I think. Not sure if you can use them but, If interested I'll get the numbers. If you can use'em, I'll cut you a sweet deal on'em..
Mike - Thanks. I hope to not even have to pull the engine and especially do a rebore. If I do, I can probably find you

As far as that clunk - yep, pulling away from a light or putting it in gear from a standstill and dropping the rpm 50 or so from that 'free' idle brings out the noise. Get past 1000 rpm, long gone.
