hey everyone, I am in need of some expert advice. I am rebuilding my 351C and am currently in the market for some pistons. It had flat tops in it when i took it apart. This engine is going back in my 1971 fastback which will be mostly a street car and and occasional track car.

Any suggestions? Should i stick with flat top or look for a dished/domed piston? would I have any clearance issues if i went with domed?

 

forgot to put this, I have a '72 block with '70 open chamber 2V heads

 

go back with replacement flat tops as anything with a dish will give a really low compression ratio .. you can get a 4 barrell intake to fit the two barrell heads .. go with a mild cam as the heads will flow ok for 351 cubes .. put on some headers ..and this motor will be a good candidate for some nos ...

 

I just rebuilt a 351c. Had dish pistons put in flatop. Was about 10.5 compression. I wouldn't go to dome uwouldnt b able to use pump gas.

 

I am putting in a new wiring harness in my70 mustang.using aamerican auto wire harness.I am pretty satisfied so far. The tech people have been pretty good.has anyone used this one or the painless one?
