Hey people im starting to rebuild my motor in my impala and i was wondering what type of pistons you would recomend, I have been told ceramic coated pistons are **** and i wont need forged becuase im not going supercharged or anything to extreem like that. I have been told that dome style pistons are good and raise compresion is this true? if not what would you recomend my use, by the way the motor is a 454 2main bolt big block

Just use a Hypertechtic Flat top piston, that'll bring the compression up a little and I've used Hypers in a few motors and can't find anything wrong with them at all!

Hyperutechtics are made by ACL. you should be able to purchase them through rocket industries or your local performance autoshop.

as if you're gonna stop at a 454, spend a bit extra and get the forgies, slight dish bowl so the comp will be a tad low but still run great, BUT itll mean u can charge it later on
