Product Details
These JE Pistons BBC .420 Dome pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its high tensile strength, making them well-suited for high-demand performance applications. Each piston features a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which reduces skirt width to minimize friction and power loss, while also saving weight with a shorter wrist pin. Depending on the specific application, these pistons may also include an accumulator groove to help reduce combustion gas pressure, leading to improved ring seal and consistent power delivery. Additionally, a skirt coating, if included for your application, further reduces friction and wear on the piston skirts and cylinder walls, contributing to quieter operation.
JE Pistons has been a leader in forged racing pistons for over 75 years, and this set is a testament to that experience. They are engineered, forged, and machined entirely in the USA, specifically for BBC (Big Block Chevrolet) engines and demanding racing applications. This custom design approach ensures an optimized combination of durability and performance, whether you're on the dirt track or the drag strip. The set includes eight pistons, each designed for a 4.500-inch bore with a 1.645-inch compression distance and a 0.990-inch wrist pin. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
