340/s Pistons

[340sracer]

I would like to order option number 3@20 over.
I thought I had sent a PM to Brock but it doesn't appear that it has gone through..
In the PM I was asking to see how I would make the payment ?

Ok guys here we go ! We are at 82 pistons as of now , We need 18 more and it will save 17 $ ea. Talked to wiseco again today, I have had a lot of guys wanting 10 overs instead of 20 overs. Saying their bores were right at the max on wear tolerance ,but hated to take them to 20 s if not needed.Which i can understand. As long as there is no major scores, you should be good with 10 s. But if you are in ? i would go w the 20 overs .Well they will do it for us, but whoever does your machine work has to understand that the rings will have to be filled to fit. Which i do w every bore no matter what the rings say out of the box. So with that said who wants to change their order? I am trying to fit this to everyones needs , We still have time to hit the 100 mark. Please let me know guys , I am doing the best i can to make this GREAT for every one . Thanks Brock. PS please call 740-808-1296 to change your order , if i dont answer leave a message w the changes or PM me on the site W your call name or real name, I believe i have everyone pretty much memorized by now ! Thanks Guys Brock

Hey Guys ! Pistons are to be done Feb 2nd. I believe i have contacted everyone that i had on the list with the total cost. If i didnt please call me At 740 808 1296 . Wiseco will not ship until we have the total amt paid, so please try to get your checks out as soon as possible. Gaskets are being made now as well .Thanks guys for your patience through this whole process. If this goes good ! 295/s will be next . Thanks Brock

There goes half my tax return. I could really use some Pistons for the 295/S. That would be a god send for this guy. I have two motors and no Pistons for them.

[Cabindweller]

Did we make the 100 piston mark?

[skoalmint]

Great news ! Pistons are Here . But there is a little problem. They ran out of rings for the .010 overs . How do they do that ? There is only 4 guys that ordered them, should have them in a month . So with that said ,I will start shipping out pistons Saturday . It will probably take me a week to get them all out. Thanks guys for all the kind messages ,as well as the quick pmts. Looks like the 295/s will be next . Thanks Brock

Got home from work to find a package on the doorstep. My wife wanted to know why I was so damn excited...I told her that hunk of junk she's been complaining about (for years) just took one major step forward. Now she's happy too. Thanks Brock!

We have been talking about 340/S pistons for ten years, several false starts, but Brock got it done!

Mine arrived today as well, and boy are they pretty!

Was comparing the new pistons to the original version yesterday, and noted a few differences. Was texting back and forth with Brock last night about these, and learned that Wiseco recommended a few modifications to improve the design. Troy was mentioning that the late Lee Hardesty was talking about the same issues regarding the 340/S piston design several years ago.

Anyway, I thought it was really cool that 40 years later, JD sled enthusiasts are trying to build on Lee's work. It is a shame we can't get his opinion on the result.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the new and improved pistons work, and kudos to Brock for all the effort and expense that went into it!
