Right from the start I had always intended to use forged JE pistons for the build, their quality is next to none and I wouldnt trust my motor with anything else. The average base cost for a set of JE pistons to suit a 6 cylinder is around the $900.00 USD mark, then you have the choice of adding ceramic coatings, total seal rings, lightened pins, gas ports, lightening, etc which significantly adds to the cost.

While browsing some forums tonight I managed to stumble upon a guy selling a set of JE pistons (yet to be made) for $800 including shipping, taxes etc. This is a huge steal and saves anywhere from $200-$300 a set, money that will be put back into the order with options for lightened pins, ceramic coating and total seal 2nd ring's being ticked.

Needless to say I jumped at the chance to pick them up.
