pistons with a hair cut

I can't finde some of those flat top pistons for my 280 that wont do as they say in the adds "brake your wallet". Have any of you guys orderd any, and were they cheap if so. $50 a peic is good for me. let me know if any of you guys can show me how a real z expert hunts down the pistons.

You can pull flat top pistons out of any P79 or P90 block.

The block is an F54 block and only on the non-turbo with the P79. P90 heads should have dished pistons under them for use with a turbo.

I just looked for flat top pistons, and I can't find any available at the usual places I go for parts. Maybe MSA is the only place left.

Sorry, thanks for the correction. I have 4 or 5 flat tops that I pulled out of my old P79. The missing ones got demolished when I blew up my engine.
