9a & 9b: Yes. A little background here... A set of custom pistons from Ross costs $600/set including pins. My machinist charges $50 per cylinder for doing the Sunnen 3-stage bore and hone process for standard Porsche alusil cylinders (which is the same as the Chevy Vega, BTW.) This is not the nickasil process. So the cost of doing this is roughly the cost of an ’88 donor motor, which is getting harder to find. The reason for suggesting replicating the ’88 piston is greater piston-to-valve clearance, meaning ioncreased margin for valve float under a forced overrev condition. If the general consensus is to replicate the 9.5:1 piston or not doing this at all, I don't make any money either way!
