Talking 360 Pistons

While searching the web I found these pistons and thought they would work
in a 360. 4.0500 BORE , 1.828 Compression Ht., .975 Pin Diameter, 3.400
overall, Flathead style top, 9.6:1 advertised compression. EGGE Machine Co
has them , origionaly for a Edsel 361 cu. in. engine. This would solve the
problem with low compression and quench issues. Should make a very torquey
smaller cu. in. engine.

Have A Good Day--- Hotwrench

Those would be from a 1959 Edsel 361 because the 1958 Edsel 361 was a 10.5:1 compression set up.

Except that they're still too short.

10.17-1.75-6.54=1.880"

1.880-1.828=.052" deck clearance.

Take a look at oversize 352 pistons...
