[DeTomaso] Where to buy a single Keith Black KB148 piston

[Julian Kift]

0.040 and even 0.060 over pistons are readiy available cast or forged from good performance shops. Whether you want to rebuild a Cleveland that is already 0.040 over is another question. Generally accepted wisdom is a max o/bore of 0.030 before the cylinder walls become too thin on most C blocks and anything over 0.030 should not be rebuilt without sonic testing to verify wall thickness.
