I just tore my 2.9 down and am starting the rebuild. AE Clevite and Sealed Power have sotck and oversize pistons in standard cast. Forged are $150 a slug from JE pistons.

I was quoted a lot cheaper from Campbell Enterprises for custom made forged:

Might be something to look into.

Is that for a 2.9? Or were you looking at some other piston?

Just because a company doesn't have something listed on their site doesn't mean they can't make it for you. I had my cam ground the same way, a place called Colt Cams in Langley BC custom ground me one for $155. Just ask.

Edit:
FWIW, rods were harder, I never did find a mfr for those. I was going to have the stock shot peened and ARP bolts installed in them.

Thanks, I will ask.
Crower Equipment wouldn't build you some rods?

this guy got me a rod for pretty cheap. like 15 or 20 bucks each. but i dont know where he orderd them, this was at a machine shop. he just told me they had a warehouse some where and he could get anything i needed.. but didnt tell me who the manufacturer was.. or where they got them.. yeah i looked all over my self for the rods to that was the only place i had luck.. Clovis Automotive Machine Shop (559) 299-6626 i dont know if they ship tho..

Didn't ask them, I wasn't looking to spend top dollar on it. I was going to put on a roots blower, but changed mid-stream. My biggest consern was the cast pistons..
