CP Piston Bullet Race Series Small Block Chevy 4.060 Bore 3.480 Stroke 5.700 Rod Set Of 8

This is a set of eight CP Pistons Bullet Race Series pistons, designed for Small Block Chevy engines. You get the pistons themselves, ready for installation in a 4.060 inch bore with a 3.480 inch stroke, using 5.700 inch connecting rods. These are forged pistons, meaning they start as a solid block of aluminum that's heated and hammered into shape under extreme pressure. This process creates a much stronger and more durable piston than cast aluminum, making them ideal for high-performance applications where reliability under stress is key.

CP Pistons is known for making well-built engine components, and this Bullet Race Series set is no exception. The forged construction helps these pistons withstand the high cylinder pressures and temperatures found in performance engines. They are specifically sized for a 4.060 inch bore, which is a common overbore size for Small Block Chevys, allowing for increased displacement and potential power gains. The 3.480 inch stroke and 5.700 inch rod length are also critical dimensions that determine the engine's overall displacement and its ability to breathe efficiently at higher RPMs. When building a performance engine, getting the piston and rod combination right is crucial for both power and longevity.

Because these are performance pistons, you'll want to ensure they are installed by someone experienced with engine building. Proper ring gap, piston-to-wall clearance, and balancing are all critical steps. This set is intended for racing and high-performance street use, so it's important to consider the overall build strategy to match the capabilities of these pistons. Remember, this set is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
