    I think I remember Ross pistons looking like that. Nice find though.

    Keith Black hypereutectic was the first thing I thought of. The piston was something they offered some time ago with that D shaped dish.

    Looks nothing like the ROSS pistons I have.

    There is no logical reason to call an Engine a motor.

    Thanks for the help. Not what I wanted to hear, looks like I need to find different pistons then.

    Better than stock, just a bit sensitive to detonation due to the high silicon content when compared to a forged, but not a "bad" piston.

    They do not make them in a forged unit. I called them years ago and asked. They say these are heat treated to T6 specs.
