I'm not sure, but if you're really going to build a 408 LT1, there is a really long thread on CamaroZ28.com. Lots of info.

I bought my car with srp pistons installed, but during the rebuild ross custom pistons were used, 4.000" stroke, 5.85" rod. If i remember right, I was told the srp 408 pistons are no longer made.

yeah the mahle ones are like 580 for a forged set

There are a TON of better piston choices then Mahle

If you're taking the time to build a 408ci LT1 then maybe you should consider just getting a nice custom piston and calling it good.

i would love to but not really sure what brand to run what would you recomend in the way for a custom set

[Colossus]

Look into JE or SRP, they have some bad ass pistons.

Diamond makes a pretty dang nice piston too, and I can vouch that a custom set of those run about $600.
