Stocker pistons...

Luckily, i have a very experienced machinist, in the Stocker world, doing my engine....Bill Smith, Muncie, Indiana... He has done several Pontiacs, in the past...and they have all set records...so, i think i will be ok... And, yea...i know ring seal is very important. Its amazing how different things are, between a cheap bracket engine, and a Stocker engine. Ive always wanted to do this, and i know its gonna be costly. That being said, i will do the best shortblock , that i can. I will build from it... Im sure i wont hit the #'s that the rest of the E and F cars are hittin, right off the bat, but, if it were easy, everybody could do it, right?

I appreciate all the feedback... Its guys like y'all, that can speed this process up, a ton, and not let guys like me, make too many costly mistakes...
