Pistons

Good evening. My name is Jeff and I have a 64 Cutty, holiday coupe. 330 cid factory a/c factor buckets etc. I am in the process of putting a budget together to rebuild the 330 engine. The problem I am having is I am not having any luck finding pistons. I realize I may not need them but I want to make sure they are available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff

Try EGGE pistons, not sure if they make them for the 330 but they might. Others here will know if there are other options.

As far as i know it is original a/c. Most of vacuum lines are gone because once i touched them they fell apart. What kind of pics are u looking for? Lines, condenser, drier, I will have to figure out how to post pics on here.

Egge Machine is one source for cast pistons; you could get forged pistons custom made by just about any of the major piston manufacturers; or you could overbore the block to use standard 350 pistons. The last option may require sonic checking the block to ensure there is enough material for the overbore, but I have read that many folks have done this with success.
