I think greg told me they were coated which he never used.....I can take a picture if you want......

the pistons are coated (for use in alusil block) or are they standard pistons for nicasil?
if the later, ring packages are critical for survival as you might know.

Yes, it was an optional color in 1983. Called Slate Blue Mettallic Code # 661

Andy, you reported the message below. I assume that was an "ooops".

Hi Chuck,
the 325 hp is just with the header , crossover and dual 3 inch exhuast...not sharktuned..Next dyno with be with the new cams, and raptor sc and 24 lb fuel injectors which are already installed but I haven't finished with the sharktuning. I will post when it is done but in short the car comes alive at 3200 to redline ...awesome... I am doing the stroker short block as I miss the added low end torque.

Hi Andy,

Hope you're doing well man! Saw your sig on the cam posts and your info at the bottom of the page. (you listed Devek Level II headers, X pipe, 3 inch exh). Also so you posted 325rwhp. Is that all from the exhaust you put on? Is it out of control loud, sound nice, or what? Just curious as I'm getting my ducks in a row for the next year and making mods to the Charlie Car to get her to run like a rocket! Going through it right now and fixing the "need to's". Just did fuel pumps a couple weeks ago, motor mounts over christmas break are upcoming, then to the shocks (they are toast with one leaking fluid like crazy!) After that it's to exhaust and sharktuning. Maybe a set of Carl's cams eventually???

Let me know about the exhaust, you got me thinking about going the header route.
Thanks parnter, I appreciate it!!
