Well I had to much end play on my 4.1 and could even be bent.  So, I'm dropping this in and probably tossing in some 9.2:1 diamond pistons.  I'll try to sell the old 8:1's.  It is an eagle stock stroke crank. Looking forward to summer! :powersix:

What size are the 8 2 1 pistons? Compression height?
 usable with a stock crank in a while 4.1?
Price? Tia

They are .040,  I have to dig up the height.  What do you think they are worth?

I couldn't say. I have a 4.1 block and a stock crank. I was going to buy some earl brown forged at 4.00 bore because of ring selection. But I'm all about a bargain. .040 puts em at 4.005 I think. Am I close? Shipping might be the deal killer. 76017.

I'll dig up the piston card and let you know all the details.  I could drive an hour to the border and ship them from there.

I'm betting the shipping would be less than 50 bucks via Canada Post with 7-10 day service.

I did a rough calculation and it worked out to about $40, $28US.  Did a quick road trip to Grand Forks on Monday and it only cost me $12.45 in gas to get there and that is filling up with premium! :rock:
