Question

What size piston to order?

I have one bad piston in my 66 352. It is a Jasper rebuild and doesn't smoke or use oil so don't want to rebuild whole engine at this time. Parts catalogs offer several oversized pistons, .020, .040 etc. How do I know what size to order?

Just looked in my old chiltons manual, lists standard bore and stroke on the 352, 4.00 X 3.50, sometimes the piston has a number on the crown that says std, or what ever over it is.

Most pistons show what size they are.
If not, you can mic it... very easy to do
