Re: 340/5 pistons

Thanks guys,

For the few times a year it gets used it should be fine.

I was thinking of getting 440 jugs and boring them because I believe the oversized pistons for a 440/5...

340/5 pistons

I am restoring a sled and am wondering where you guys get your oversized pistons and rings for a 340/5 CCW-Kiortz?
Is there any brands that crossover?

Thanks
