    Weisco will make a run of them if you buy a certain quatity. Maybe you can rally your troops to order a batch ?

    Wasn't Dave Scott trying to round up an order of special Merc pistons last year? I think Wiesco's minimum was 100 units at something like $125 each. I think that gets you in the ball park
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    the piston ports were simalar size to the ones in the block none of them cracked., im doing the rest tonight, but just wanting to know whats good or bad.. im thinking they dont have to be the same, i might have a look at how we'd go making the ports like a D.. we've done one piston already and it looks good, only thing is i dont want to take too much meat out of the piston near the gudgeon.. but i may have to as at the moment the hole is quiet small..
    ill try and get some photos

    Looks like a Dick O'Dea port job on a 2.4 to me. Where the heck is Stellwagen, Ledges.

    I forgot to add that they use the long finger port and the bottom hole on the piston later on.

    I believe you are close to the estimate Sam.

    If you are going to run a batch of Weisco pistons in Mod 50 version, and don't want to oder such a large quantity, why not simply turn them ? Weisco's did not have the dome as the original Mod 50 did. So making your own could be a very easy job. Pro category does this a lot. I imagine a local machine shop could turn and mill pistons to match the Mod 50 exactly for a price, and you would not need to buy 100 sets.

    not seein why i would turn a Stinger piston down, then thare is the wirst pin hole

    at Wiseco for 3 grand, it takes most of the day to set up, then they will run 12 pistons, then you need to spend more money
