    Default Kennedy low compression pistons

    Hey,is anyone out there thinking of rebuilding their 6.5l with low compression pistons? Called Kennedy today and he no longer stocks his LC pistons, but will make some up if he can get 6+ orders. I really want a set of these babies. If anyone is thinking about it please speak up so we can get an order in. Pleeeeease!!

    I have a used set of LC pistons that I'd sell you. They aren't kennedy's, but they are low mile.

    Just a word of caution. We know that uninformed or deceptive eBay sellers are selling stock 6.5 injector nozzles that are advertised as being high-pop or high-output. When shopping for 6.5 pistons, know that unless a dish has been machined into the piston crowns (beyond what the factory pistons already have), the top of an 18:1 piston should be about 1/16" below the block deck when that piston is at TDC.
