Has anyone purchased 4.9 JE Pistons?

I have, a number of sets, nice pistons. Dan

 

I sent a new set down to a gentleman down in Florida, along with the 4.9 block he purchased from me. They are quite stout, and he said he's very pleased with the results.

 

I too used a set on khamsin engine rebuild source from MIE. Garage were impressed with their quality.

Does anyone know the weight of the JE pistons and also of the originals?

Thanks -

 

It was some time ago but they were similar in weight to the originals.
Another tip with JE pistons is to ensure the machine shop know they need Cast clearances 2.5 thou not forged clearance of 4thou

 

Thanks. The car ran well before it devoured its water pump, so this is just a precautionary rebuild. If I'm lucky, I won't need pistons or liners, but knowing the pistons weigh about the same means I have both options. We have an electronic crank balancer, but I'd prefer to make as few changes as possible.
