Mahle MS Piston Set Chevrolet 359ci 4.040in Bore 3.50stk 5.7in Rod .927 Pin -3.0cc - Set of 8

If you're building a Chevrolet Small Block engine for a 359 cubic inch application, this Mahle MS Piston Set is a solid option. These pistons are forged from 4032 aluminum, which is known for its strength and ability to handle higher compression ratios and temperatures compared to cast pistons. This set is designed to work with a 3.500-inch stroke crankshaft and a 5.700-inch connecting rod, featuring a 4.040-inch bore size. The press-fit pin design is common for performance builds, ensuring a secure connection.

The pistons in this set have a -3.0cc dish volume, which contributes to a 10.8:1 compression ratio when used with a typical 64cc cylinder head and the specified stroke and rod length. Weighing in at 479 grams each, they offer a good balance of strength and weight for a performance engine. These are built to meet USRA Factory Stock rules, making them a popular choice for that specific racing class. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
