One of my pet peeves with the JE pistons is that the 944 turbo pistons they sell are made with small block Chevy blanks – you can see the extra material for the valve reliefs on bottom…extra weight that is useless for us!

BTW – the 944 turbo is really close to Chevy 302 in bore and stroke….4” vs 3.93” for bore and 3” vs 3.07" for stroke.
