Well Bart I am sad to say I am one of thoes guys who has been doing all the reading and no posting. So here is my new start. I have been in the process of rebuilding a 401 for the grem. I have been waiting for some forged pistons since Dec. 2002.I am sick of waiting. If anyone knows where I can get some forged 30 over pistons let me know. I have the 727 at the shop getting race ready, should be done in the next couple of weeks. I just located a rearend with 354 posi in it. When the motor is done then I will start on the conversion from a 6 popper to a V8 slammer. (Look out Ford and Chevy pukes you are going down.) We have a lot of rice burners in my small town of 20,000 that like to cruse the main street every Friday and Saturday night. Quit a few of them have laughed when I have driven it around with the 6 in it. They will be surprised when I show up with the mighty 8 and blow there doors off. I am just screwing with them with the 6 in it now. I will try to post some pics . It is a 71 with no rust. Only 26,000 miles. It is my baby. Well thats all for now . any help with the pistons would be great. Mark in Minnesota
