Default anybody blow a motor?

i keep looking on ebay and craigslist for a partial set of forged pistons. no such luck so i thought i'd try here.
i need six decent forged pistons for a v-6 project i'm building. standard rod, 4.030" or 4.040".
if you lost a motor and have a few pistons left over you just can't bring yourself to toss, let me know. i'm willing to give a few bucks to take them off your hands.

You may want to check over at LS1Tech, they blow up more stuff than we do.

Let me check at home tonight. I think I have a set of flat top forged with trough valve relief from a 4.3L V6 at home. I got them from a guy when I worked in the engine shop.

Six flat top, trough valve relief, 4.030", about 1.562" compression distance. They look like a TRW, so not the lightest forged you could get. There is a number stamped on each, 464695. I can take a photo and email it to you if you like. $20 to cover shipping and they're yours.
