All new designed 12Bolt KA pistons. For 250 and 292 in .040 and .060. Same specs as our forged pistons except made in hypereutectic alloy. The cost is much lower, but performance is almost equal.
Some specs. Taller than stock CH, modern low tension ring packs.

John Erb (of supercharged Studebaker fame) came to Carson City, Nevada to talk to United Engine about making Hypereutectic pistons of his design for supercharged Studebaker V8s. They offered him a job as an engineer. I don't think he had an engineering degree. He at his time there designed Keith Black & Silvolite pistons and proved that hypereutectic pistons handle boost well. My son worked for him summers through high school & college and because of John he is a mechanical engineer.

Similar situation happened to me over this past summer. I mentioned some of it to you already Beater, but after almost 20 years as a Class IV CNC Machinist/Programmer, I reached a point that the company I was working for could not longer compensate me for what I was bringing to the table. So I had an Indeed recruiter reach out to me about a position in their Engineering Dept. Less than 24 hours after applying, they contacted me, I interviewed and offered me a job. This company caters to the Aerospace Industry, and supplies products to all the top Department of Defense Aviation and Aerospace contractor s in the country. With my nearly 40 years experience as a Machinist, with half of that involved in CNC and programming, I now use MasterCam software to create price quoting for these Aerospace parts to submit to our customers. Who would have ever thought that at 63, a new chapter and career would begin....
