Does anyone have stock 304 CID wrist pin lying around they could weigh? The NHRA stock eliminator specs for this engine shows this pin weighing 80g minimum. The NHRA stock replacement pistons I'm using, wrist pins weigh 170g (Sealed Power 1079P). Is there really that much difference in weight? Both are .931" diameter. I may be looking for a stock pin set.

Thank you. 

Surprised it weighs the same. Now I wonder where NHRA got that weight. Still going to look for some lighter ones, but .931" is an odd size.
