I'm in the process of getting parts for my engine build and was wondering what everyone is useing for pistons, or who i should call that could point me in the right direction.

My truck will be used as a daily driver and will pull 6-12 thousand pounds on a regular basis. No long distance towing, i just tow construction scrap across town to the dump.

stock LB7/LLY pistons that are cut down. Machine the lip off, open up the bowl to 2.51" and then round off the lip-surface of the piston with a .1875" radius.
