302 rebuild, help please


I am rebuilding a 302, it has been awhile. I have some used pistons that have plenty of wear scuffs on the skirts. Shouls I replace these or will they be ok?

I don't think this is a question you should put much thought into.


why would you reuse old pistons on a rebuild? even mentioning that they have "wear scuffs"


its a "no-brainer" question.

you should try your local autoparts store, stock cast pistons arent that much exspensive, youd be surprised, just shop around, and dont forget to get wrist pins and rings. and if you dont have a press, any shop can install your pins for you.
