What would you say are the best flattop pistons to put in a 4 Cyclinder?
Which would be going in 1987 Fiero SE.



It all depends on what you are looking to do with the engine and what type of valvetrain you are planning on running to decide on the best piston to use. Just remember that the money you are going to spend on the Iron Duke you will only achieve minimal gains. There is only so much you can do with a Duke.

Dominik,

What do you think so far? I know the paint is not an exact match, but the color started off as plum purple which almost matched your cars paint exactly. Then the more I looked at it, I thought that it would look really nice if it was a little deeper shade of purple. So then I layed down several coats of Anodized Purple on top of the plum purple and it ended up looking like that. You really have to see the paint in person. It looks great!!!

If you want the car to match the engine I can always paint the car for you too

The paint looks great. Like you said in person it will look differently.

I really like look the combination of purple and brushed aluminium.

I think ss vacum lines would look great....
here are some more pics.





as far as a harmonic balancer....

needs to be replaced.

93 bucks in Fierostore.

Should i get that one?
