Default Forged pistons

Supersix mustangs website says they have super strong Weisco forged pistons, but I called Weisco direct and they do not list a piston for v6 mustangs...anyone know of anybody else selling forged pistons?

Super Six and Delk Performance both sell name brand forged goodies for the V6.

Thanks. I found orged pistons from Probe with the same size boar but the rod pin is .070 off, so ill have that much machined off of the top. close to $500 for set of 6 and rings, everyone else wanted $775+

Well SSM claims that you HAVE to use an offset pin, so I'm still curious about that.

Where else do you suggest? I've tried je, ssm, probe, weisco, delk, and ross. Delk seemed like the exact same thing that ssm is selling (both from weisco) its bull that they wont just sell to me so I can skip the middleman mark up!![:@]

That is what suppliers do... they sell to companies/shops that you buy from.
