contact Bill Mannes of Kansas city club. He lives in Independence,Mo.
He used pistons out of 50s Dodge,They fit the Healey and they are 10-1.
Bill put them in his race car. Dave Wirken of the same area would also be a
contact person if you can't reach Bill. They are a great bunch of guys out
there and I am sure they can help you.
Happy Healeying, Marty www.jule-enterprises.com

Am building race engine for Pocono (April 11th) and have run against snag.
Dennis Welch Motorsports is back ordered 4-6 wks on the flat top 88mm pistons,
which requires my sourcing a set of racing pistons elsewhere. if anyone on the
list has had a custom set fabricated by JE Pistons or a similar piston maker,
i would appreciate the specs and/or order # so i could piggyback off the
design specs? am sticking with the stock wrist pins (floating in piston,
clenched to con rod).
alternately, if anyone knows of a set for sale somewhere, would be very
interested.
also interested in speaking with anyone with experience
engine is otherwise in the works, and i am loathe to use my existing set of
0.20" over M-spec (shallow dish) pistons a stopgap measure, since it means
building a second short block for a single season's use.
also could use input from anyone with information as to locations and depths
for valve relief pockets.
thanks.
