Last I recall the Venolia pistons from Bruce are $135 each, may have gone up same as everything else in this world ? The quality is unsurpassed. I don't care how meticulously you restore your Interceptor it will never be as pretty as one of those pistons right out of the box. He has the proper rings too along with lots of other rebuild parts like wrist pins, pin bearings, gaskets, fire rings, etc. Rechroming the cylinders along with buying these pistons and rings will be cheaper than the jet ski modded route every day of the year. If 398 can do all the machining himself, and use low buck swap meet parts finds and succeed in building a running engine he will spend less out of pocket. He will have used electricity, bought or made some cutting tools & fixtures (price a good reamer for those wrist pin bores & bushings ?). Nevermind he is a competent machinist and already owns most of the tools and machinery. While he was doing this work what else might have he been able to get done in the same time for a paying customer ? I like a challenge as much as the next guy but I call Bruce and buy the pistons & rings from him. Plus there are a few resurrected Interceptors around that wouldn't be on snow again if he didn't reman those slugs. I don't know what Bob at Image still has ? Do call him to ask though as he has always been a gentleman towards me and has some hard to get stuff. The filler neck repair kits he sold were wonderful things.
