What is the weight of a stock piston?
Does anyone know the actual weight of a stock, bare piston? The only information I could find was in Cor-vette specs book that says it is 1.4 lbs.
Thanks! |

Thanks. I was trying to compare the difference of some forged JE stock sized pistons that I have. These are 448g or 15.80 oz

the corvette spec book probably gives you the total weight of what is referred as a piston kit,: piston,rings,wrist pin and locks...they do that for balancing information
