sealed power pistons


I found a set of sealed power pistons on ebay for sale for 99 dollars and I am just kind of skeptical about them and can not find out where they are made. does anyone know where they are made I do not want to buy chinese parts for my internals.

They are made by Federal Mogul and were the same as Speed Pro IIRC. I have the Speed Pros and they are heavy as hell. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about who makes them, I'm pretty sure but not 100%

Although that would apply to my forged ones, not the hypers, like vfast mentioned they probably are

i know pistons should not be my next mod but i have a 86 motor and as you probably know those motors have the recessed valves and flat top pistons so you cant just put different heads on those pistons or else the valves will hit the pistons. so i just have to put new pistons in it so it will run and i am rebuilding the motor to so i was going to get it bored 30 over anyways so there is new pistons anyways.

i also want to put a cam in the motor before i put it back in the car so i was thinking about the f-303 cam from ford racing and have heard from some people that this is one of the best bang for your buck cams you can buy any other suggestions

an e7, f cam, and bolt up setup is tride and true, don't expect big power from it, but it will be super fun on the street!

Try to gasket match everything to get ever last bit of flow from those heads.

Is the motor going to be carbed for fuel injected?

I WOULD opt for some used gt-40 there cheap or explorer heads....do spend extra $$$$ on a set of forge if you want to add nitrous on any other power adder later...also they have deeper notches in the piston...I would go with a small dual pattern cam
