: I was just looking through some piston spec's
: and found another option for long rod
: pistons for the slant 6. The 2.8L GM pistons
: have a standard bore of 3.504" a
: compression distance of 1.598" a pin
: diameter of .9055" and an overall
: height of 3.00". The rod could be
: easily honed out from .901" to
: .905" to make the pin press in
: properly. Has anyone tried this combination
: yet?
: The Federal Mogul number for this piston is
: L2492F.

: I have a set of the factory's cast 2.8 pistons
: and as you noted, it will work. Do you know
: the dish volume.
: What is the availability / stock situation and
: appx. cost on these pistons?
: DD

: I think Lou has. (Dart270)

: Good memory, Dennis. I have had the 198
: rod/2.8L Chev piston combo w/0.104"
: over block sitting in my collection, all
: machined and ready to go, for 6 years. Just
: haven't had a car or reason to build the
: motor. These pistons are slightly heavier
: than the 2.2s but are still a bit less than
: stock slant pistons. Mine are hypereut. Now
: that I have a garage again after 8 years, I
: can set the motor on the stand and put it
: together. I expect to try it out in the next
: 6-12 months.

: I was brousing through some specs on pistons
: tonight and came across the 4.6 and 5.4 new
: ford V8's the piston dia is 3.5something.
: Does anyone know how to find the rest of the
: specs. They would be avalible in many forms
: if they will work. I did manage to find the
: pin dia 22mm I think.
