10.5-1 forged aluminum pistons, crane XE274H cam, roller rockers, Mondello himself did the heads a few years back ( he even signed them for me with an electric pen scribe) block was squared, rods shot penned, oil reducers in place 8 quart mildon pan with high performance oil pump and hp 930 holley carb....just had to show it off

 

Very sharp looking build.

What piston did you use? Give us the rest of the build specs if you would please.

Note; just an fyi, Crane doesn't make the XE274, Comp does.

Looks great and I have had my 442 for over 30 years, just cant part with it. I am rebuilding my car now and yours looks like it will be tearing the streets up soon. Please give us some more info on the engine build, it looks to be really strong!! Thanks
