Where to get forged pistons?

I know a few boosted members here have gotten forged pistions, Im just wondering where you got these from (custom I'm assuming) and how much they should cost, thanks.

You don't know offhand the bore size/stroke length of the 1MZ, do you?

www.Jegs.com

Jeg Coughlin is the son of the owner (who's name is also Jeg, what a surprise) and is a NHRA drag racing Pro Stock driver. Jegs doesn't just sell parts, they use them also and know a world about powering up your ride. Call them @ 1-800-345-4545

You can be SURE that they have something to fit your bore (stroke is more dependant on your c-rods, but the piston skirt does play a role).
Here is a link to their Piston page (they also have a page just for imports, this link is more for domestics)

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s ... &langId=-1

I think Jegs should be giving me money for raving about them so much (especially here on this site).

Hope this helps,

That is where I ordered my forged pistons and rods. Talk to Brian. He's a great guy over the phone but don't expect your order to come through when he says it will. I've ordered mine early December 05 and he says they will ship this week. Meanwhile I've heard that every week for the past 2 1/2 weeks. LOL.

I'm in no rush anyways because race season is over around here.

How much did you pay for something like that?
Did you also go for the connecting rods? Cam?
If so how much?
Thanks...Joe

Yes it does include forged connecting rods. I got the pistons, rods, and ARP bolts for $1,700. I believe they're selling exhaust cams for $700. Give them a call. Like I said before. Don't expect them to come in when he says they will.
