I guess I have some used ones on rods from my blown Project V motor. Thought he wanted new ones.

Let me know, Mark. I can send you a good rod/piston for shipping costs. Not guaranteed over 5500 RPM...

Also have a set of springs comming from engine builder and 1 exhaust valve,1 got bent on number three,very small kiss on top of piston,so actually 2 pistons is what I really want.or six new 40,or 60 over and start all over,or start with fresh block and build a NEW engine around my 45 wiseco pistons and k1 rods,Vegas does not look like it will happen for me,mark

Can't you buy a new Badger piston? Can't be more than $30, and more like $15 ea.

I have some used .030 cast pistons but they are not Badgers.
Weigh one of your current assemblies and give me that number.
(piston, rod with cap, bolts/nuts but no rings)
If the weight is close... I will send you a few.

Just "patch" this engine together... save your big effort for the K1 motor.
