Now I have been having this thought? Now if I used a Turbo head. (are all years the same?) Could I use a set of flat top pistons? Seems easier than decking the block and easier to find and cheaper than the elusive euro pistons? Just a thought? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

this is getting beaten to death...

if you get flat top pistons they will have to be made through JE. then you may as well _do the measurements_ and find out if you need a piston dish or dome. then you order your pistons and bolt everything together without messing with decking the block. why would you just guess on the piston dimensions then pay $700 for them only to find your compression is either too low or too high?

I'll know next week whether my engine is going to run or not. If not, I will be getting rid of a bunch of stuff. Too much time and money into this thing already.... If it doesn't pan out, I will have a set of Euro pistons for sale. I'll keep you posted.
