i think i still have the QSC set that my car came with. I used KB for my build and set the other ones aside. I can check to see if i still have them if you want. Cheap!!!

Never heard of QSC before?

2.0 or 1.7/1.8 ? The pistons are different cylinders are the same. I have 3 sets of German cylinders I just had bored out to 96MM . The freight to the West coast would be prohibitive . Al

Good point on boring out my old German jugs. I'll look into that.

Walmart.com
No kidding. I bought a set for Betty's car from there. The exact same vendor (AA performance products) as other sites, and a lot cheaper.

Probably not worth the cost. Most shops charge $50 per jug. You can get the AA 96mm with cast pistons for about half that price. I may be in the Market for a set too.
What is the overall plan for the engine ? Cam, induction, exhaust, and intended use street or track?

I have a new set of AA P&C. $150 + shipping. Bought them to punch out an engine I bought which already had 96mm P&C.
