Bore is 96.52 mm = 3.799989 in.
I'm not an expert on the bottom end of our engines, so I don't know if those will work or not. I do know there are other sites that deal specifically with our engines, such as Intense, 3800 Performance, etc.Matt

i know those other places deal with pistons but i may be able to find some of the same quality pistons for less money so any more insight would be appreciated.Comment

Thats still a lil too steep cuase i gotta buy l67 rods to use em. does anyone know where to get stock pistons or aftermaket fairly cheap?Comment

I thought you were refering to the intense pistons that you could get cheaper. Sorry but at that price its not steep! You can get L32 rods for $230 online, combine that with the pistons and you have a forged rod and piston set for less than these places sell the pistons alone.Originally posted by dukedusterwrx:
