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

[Rolf Poulsen]

Thanks for the help Mike. I also just got an email from kb-silvolite.com saying that summit will sell me one piston. although I'm not sure I'll buy just one piston anyone.

I've send them an email. but no reply yet.


I just searched on Google and came up with a completely different website for Keith Black; maybe the link I sent you before was bad?  In lookint at it, it appears that there are two outfits--Keith Black Racing Engines (builds engines) and Keith Black Pistons (guess what they build?) :>)

Here's the homepage for the piston company:

http://kb-silvolite.com/

Here's the listing for your piston:

http://kb-silvolite.com/performance.php?action=details&P_id=235

That's who you probably need to contact.

I took the liberty of phoning Keith Black for you just now.  They confirmed that they do have KB148 pistons in .040 in stock, on the shelf, but they said they do not sell directly to customers like us.  Instead, you would have to order them from Summit Racing or another similar distributor.

Here is a direct link to the KB148, .040 over pistons:

I don't know if those pistons come with piston rings also, but somehow I don't think so?  So you'd have to order those, plus gaskets, and you might as well change the main bearings while you're at it, etc. etc.

Cheers!

Mike
