    3 to choose from. Sealed Power, Keith Black Silv-O-Lite, or Omix are the choices. I've ruled out Omix. Any comments on the other two? Also a question, does the wrist pins come with them?

    I don't know the make that I used on my :v6: The machine shop got me a set of 8 because it was cheaper than 6. I have 2 left over if a picture would help.

    Both the Sealed Power and Silvolite are fine, AFAIK.

    Using factory dished style or hopping up with flat tops? Not that it matters, just curious.

    Stock dish. No big power here. Am going to give it a little more on top end for highway, but that's it.

    Either works, and like the Gnome said, Check on the V8 options as they are many times cheaper than the V6 setups.
