Hi All,

I have a dilemma for my car.  I have a 66 426 Hemi
engine that one of my pistons have gotten broken by a
valve seat coming loose.  The pistons were installed
by the previous owner and none of my paperwork shows
the make or size of them.  

My mechanic told me that Ross will make us a new
piston, but we have to buy 4 of them.  This will be
$400.00.  

Has anyone else run into this problem or similar that
can offer any suggestions?

thanks
Tomcat

   You should be able to get a number off the piston. I would guess that it 
all depends on the exact size. Was the motor bored? Are the pistons oversized? 
You can probably get a single piston from a manufacturer but it will be 
exspensive as hell.
