My buddy who is doing a 2v-3v swap sent me this link to these "forged" pistons. I thought it was fishy being that they are Male/Roush boxed. Far as I recall Roush's never came forged. And $400 is pretty cheap for forged. I say you get what you pay for, but he insists on asking the 3v crowd.

So, Legit or Junk?

New stage 3s n 540rh came forged but that is fishy.

Those look like the ones that come in the P51 motors to me...(which are forged)

Roush offers a forged block by itself and as part of an upgrade with a supercharger.

Those look like Mahle pistons to me, the boxes are correct and so are the included parts.

I say legit and a good deal if your buddy is looking for a 4032 piston. Keep in mind the 3v chamber volume is 52cc not 44 like the ad says so compression ratios will be different than advertised.

those pistons are 8.5-8.6:1. they are ford racing/roush parts for the p51. all p51's came with forged pistons.

forged pistons are not always overpriced. i got 2618 CP 3v pistons for about 500 if i remember right.

that catalog has those exact pistons. page 29.



M3V220551I16 is the part number.

Good to know, thanks guys! He is building for n/a-nitrous so 8.5:1 is no good for him. The search goes on!

well that alloy is also low expansion which = glass hard in my book. ill take 2618 over anything else.
