flat top pistons in a mopar 383
I've decided to Put together a motor on the cheap until my budget catches up with what I want so I can get my project running ASAP.
I have a low milage 1967 block that I could just put back together and use but I was thinking of replacing the dished pistons with flat top pistons instead. I have an entire rotating assembly from a 1970 block with flat top pistons in good condition. Does any one know if I can use the flat top pistons with the early closed chamber heads without hitting the valves ?
I will be putting in a cam but nothing with a real high lift profile, and I'm open to suggestions. Keep in mind will be putting an EFI setup on this.
I Basically am looking to build a fairly strong motor mainly with the parts I have on hand to get me by for a couple years until my "serious" enginne is finished.Last edited by scotter; 03-07-2008 at 12:31 AM.
Go ahead and tell me what you think, just don't expect me to change my mind.

".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
