The JE Pistons forged piston set for Chevrolet small-block V8 engines with 23° cylinder heads brings durable 2618 aluminum construction to your performance build. The flat-top crown combines application-specific geometry with a round forging, carefully machined ring grooves, and precision wrist-pin bores. JE's performance piston engineering carries through the finished component, giving engine builders a purposeful option for the rotating assembly. With crown and pin dimensions developed around the intended engine combination, this set provides a durable foundation for a short block planned around its cylinder head, connecting rod, and stroke package. This 4.035 in bore version uses a 1.250 in compression height for its specified engine combination.
