NOS 232 pistons

Anybody have a good set of 232 pistons in .030 or .040?

Berry step up a notch to 259 I have a set of these.

Thanks, but I already have one friend here who bored his 232 out for std 259 pistons, and he can't keep it cool. It will idle fine, but as soon as he gets underway it starts to cook, even with a 6 blade fan & an electric fan.

I'm with you, it's always safer going with what's there. There is a lot of trust you have to put into your machinist, because one false move and your engines shot. I have a set of those pistons unfortunately their in my engine. Keep looking though. A lot of times you can buy the engine for cheep and then either rebuild the new one or use the pistons for the one you already have.

Good luck.
I'll keep a look out.
