Why does it have 2v pistons in it?

I won't pretend to know too much about piston selection. I asked the question though and he said they are custom pistons for the 5.0L stroker motor they built me. The machine shop was good with them, the builder was good with them and he (Dan, the shop owner) was confident they were correct for their application.

If you guys know something I don't I'd rather know and investigate further but with checking back with him he was confident in them and I trust that.

You can use 2v pistons in any 3v/4v setup. Those valve reliefs are not in places for a 4v they look to have notches for a 2v thus the large relief for the intake and the shallow one for the exhaust.

ayyyyy, I've been looking for an answer to the 2v pistons in a 4v motor. I have some venolias sitting around that I wanted to sink into the motor once it was gone through but was concerned with the difference. Happy to hear they will work out ok.

I got the car all cleaned up and Kenzo coated last week. Just wanted to share a few photos. Once I get the final dyno numbers I'll update one more time and then hopefully this project is complete.

Thanks! I'd like to, you take EBT? I spent all my money on the motor Seriously though, I'm still tossed up. Had to replace my well pump today for a nice $1200. Always something! Would you take some Magnaflow cat backs in trade towards them?
