What kind of pistons go in my car?

Answer by  MikeG (1650)

There would be absolutely no way to tell without the engine code. If it is a small block motor, which judging by the year it most likely is, you can contact a company like summit racing or equivalent to order the pistons. If you are modifying the motor, it would depend completely on the bore.

The type of piston used will depend one a few different things. The most important is what displacement the engine is. What is the cubic inches and has it been bored out? Bigger engines require bigger pistons. Desired compression ratio is also important. Look through book or online to find a guide on how to select the appropriate pistons.
