    Hello just figured i would ask if anyone had a good set of 3800 forged pistons laying around? Im thinking about buying some can be and brand and any bore size my block even has a good stock bore so just let me know would need to be for a l67 length rod.

    What are your goals first of all?

    Why do you think you need forged internals?

    And why would you bore the engine out? The block it thin enough on its' own.

    Honestly, if it is an l67, do the line hone and arp hardware and leave the stock internals.

    They will run 350-400 wheel no sweat.
