Purdy....

Do want....

Damn.

Those are seks! I may order some just to have 'em.
Spent many years as a machinist and really like the combustion surface. Can't tell without a dyno/flow bench, but you may have something special there.
Good luck with the build.

Those look fat, thick and bulletproof!

Do you have a link to Paul's web-site or at least a e-mail addy? It'd be helpful. Thanks.

PM'd

Those are amazing!

Sorry, we decided that he's doing the head too, so it'll all be screwed together when it gets here.

Oh well, at least I'll get a ride :p

So am I going to get to see a nice set of pistons like this in the flesh?

Paul's a hell of a guy, and he does everything he can to work with people to make things happen. I can't wait to see the results of your build, it sounds like we are on the same track, I'm just starting with a little bigger block!

I don't know if your post was directed at me, but my comment in no way was referring to the design of the piston, merely how it was machined. I run CNC mills at work and can tell how the pistons were made just by looking at them and the way they were done seemed odd. Either way, they will still be the same shape/design, it's just a matter of finish and machine time. There are several ways to skin a cat as they say.

Agreed. I think what Lorin is saying is that Paul knows what he is doing. Give him a call and ask him. I'm not interested as his knowledge and expertise eclipses even my thought of comprehending a piston design.
