AMC 304 pistons

[SKOOTER]

Need help locating replacement pistons & rings.I just purchased a 72' 304 block .030 over with all machine work done to it. i.e. cleaned, bored, cam bearings, freeze plugs. It also came with stock rods. Heads have been worked. No pistons. I have heard you can use 290 flat tops to raise comp. ratio or sb chevy pistons. Any suggestions? New to AMC engines.

Also Kanter.com sells many hard-to-find parts including rebuild kits, etc... for the AMC engines, also alot of Good AMC related knowledge over at theamcforums.com Alot of guys there have tricked out the AMC engines from Gen 1-3

Thanks for the info finally saw a picture of early 290 pistons(no dish) will check at machine shop to see if they will work in my 304 block. Thanks again for the 38tsl's I purchased last fall if I can get this engine done may be able to wheel next spring...... If anyone else has tried this or figured out how to raise the compression on a 304 to about 9.5 to1 let me know. SKOOTER

I got master rebuild kit from PAW some years ago but they only sell early hemi parts as of 9/30/2010. Stupid dismal economy!!!!

Try RPM machine if you need anything else.

Thanks again for the springs bro.
