Forged pistons

Posted by Curtis French On 2014/1/28 21:11:58

Have a fresh .030 over 374 V-8 that I want to drop in my 56 Golden Hawk with overdrive. It presently has a set of Egge cast pistons without expansion struts. I contacted a well known piston company to check on price of a set of custom made forged pistons. Quote I got for eight flat top pistons, plus rings, pins and locks was over $1500, which is about $500 higher than I was expecting based on previous posts on this forum.

So my question is does $1500+ sound about right these days for a set of custom-made forged pistons with rings, pins and locks?

Thanks,
Curtis
