RE: aluminum pistons
If he's just using straight aluminum they will be weaker than stock, even with a heat treating.

Yup.......but what I am saying is he probably can go about making them....but if he is just going to cnc them out of a block or do whatever he is doing, they might not be as strong as stock....there are other fabrication processes that create the strength needed for an engine.

stock pistons are aluminum. some forged, some hypereutectic.
