panhead stroker pistons

#1

Post by zapc »

got a question about pistons, are panhead pistons the same as shovelhead pistons? I have a 64 pan with an 84" S&S stroker crank. S&S no longer makes these pistons, they do however make the stroker pistons for the shovel still. can't talk to S&S till monday if the stock pistons are the same then I'm going to assume the strokers are also interchangeable. any one know

thanx

I got a set of 84" S&S stroker pistons last year from a local indy. After I already had 'em my shortblock builder said he would not have chosen them because of the B cam I had.(compression a bit low) I used them anyway and as he said, I could have used more compression. Mike
