am putting together a 383 for the '72 and was wondering what kind of piston rings would be best???? have been looking at the Total Seal Gapless rings OR should i just go with the standard OE type rings (non-moly)?? these will go on Keith Black Pistions with 1/16, 1/16, & 3/16 ring grooves. this will be run on street and used as a weekend play toy. what ya all think????

After alot of research I went with the Total Seal rings for my big block. The have the least amount of leak down of any ring. You will have to run a special valve guide seal though.
