Prices usually vary from 800-1000$. For your application depends on what compression ratio you want to end up with. You have to take cylinder head chamber size,piston cc size and head gasket thickness to calulate the ratio that you what to go with. If you call JE pistons I know from experence that they have great customer service and can answer all your question.

If your gonna spend 800-1000 dollars on pistons might as well buy everything else. If you click on the callies sponser link. Click on dealers and I believe sdfc is the name but they have a 402 rotating assembly for 1900$. Callies 4" crank,callies rods and manley forged pistons
