Does getting a new set of stock cast pistons require a rebalance? I'm rebuilding a 7m and I had the crank ground, rods re-sized w/arp hardware. the bore has very minimal wear so my machinist just honed the block. the pistons I received in the rebuild kit look exactly like the old ones just new, so my question is should I need a rebalence if I use these new pistons?

Your build sounds like mine im using the nprs off driftmotion
std size
resized rods with arps
crank grnd .010 under
im using a fidanza flywheel also
Im getting my engine balanced cause im going to be driving in pure track situations
But in reality it is a good idea to get even a stock engine balanced it ensures the parts work toghether instead off against not that expensive either im getting my spun and balanced for 150 thats some cheap insurance.....
Good luck

Weigh each piston to see how close they are.
Plus if you had the assembly balanced with different pistons, check those to see how they are to one another.
Machine shop shouldnt charge much if some of the new pistons need work to get same weight.
