There's so many things that are wrong about using a single larger piston, balance comes to mind here. But considering the stupidity of most of the Chrysler assemblies that I've come across from the late '60s on, it doesn't surprise me that you've found one or two oversize pistons in several different engines. I never have, and I've been in 50 or more Chrysler engines.

I'm looking for documentation on the MoPar oversizes. Rite now all i can find is that ALL cylinders were bored oversize and coded it on engine block. I know that they ran as many as 3 varyied sizes and coded it on the engine block but can't find the documentation.

All i can find is varied crank journal size codes. Well, i guess i'm full of shit on the MoPar bores. It sure seems like i ran to it on at least 2wo engines some years ago.

Which means that you probably had an engine that was rebuilt by some backwoods mechanic that was rebuilding on a budget.

What does all this MOPAR discussion have to do with alternate rods/pistons for Packard V-8?

Craig, this post reminded me that I've meant to ask you about the status of the Panther project.

I ran across your Panther website several years ago, read through all of the posts, then came to the end where you stated it was on indefinite hold.

Is that still the case?

Craig and Eric. The point i'm trying (so lousy) to make is what if only ONE piston is needed???? For ANY reason.

Am i the only person that has ever bought less than a FULL set of pistons and or rings???

Are the Summit et-al pistons and/or rings only available in sets????

Then you buy a set and have 7 spares.
