They are custom made and will take at least six weeks to ship. So the 40 is on-hold until my pocket book recovers and I can get to work prepping the tub for Raptor Liner and the chassis and axle housing for Chassis Black.

Forged Pistons Are Expensive!
Well my engine is still being rebuilt. Apparently the valve train (lifters, springs, valves, etc,) are hard to find. But my guy got em! Anyway, after a lengthy conversation about getting the most bang for my buck, it was agreed that I needed to invest in boosting compression. Stock compression was only rated at 7.8:1 on the 2F. To that end, I ordered some high compression forged pistons rated for 9:1. They weren't cheap, but I think they'll be worth the investment.
