Default SBC 400

I believe SRP pistons and other 4000 series high silicon pistons are not recommended for alcohol competition drag race engines. Coated piston skirts can help minimize wear in alcohol engines.

A vacuum pump system is recommended to minimize dilution of oil.

Gapless rings are also popular in blown alcohol truck and tractor pulling and so are stainless top rings.
