Mahle MS Piston Set Ford Cobra Jet 343ci 3.572in Bore 4.165 Stroke 6.657 Rod .866 Pin -12.6cc

If you're building a high-performance Ford Cobra Jet engine, getting the right pistons is critical for power and reliability. This Mahle MS Piston Set is designed specifically for the 343ci Cobra Jet, featuring a 3.572-inch bore and a 4.165-inch stroke. These pistons are forged, which means they are built to handle the extreme pressures and temperatures found in a performance engine. The -12.6cc dish volume is a key specification that works with your cylinder head volume to achieve your target compression ratio, crucial for optimizing power output.

Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, and this set reflects their commitment to building solid parts for demanding applications. The pistons come with a .866-inch pin diameter, and the included rod length is 6.657 inches, ensuring proper geometry within your engine assembly. Forged aluminum construction offers a strong yet relatively lightweight solution, helping to reduce reciprocating mass compared to cast pistons. This is important for engine longevity and responsiveness at high RPMs. Proper installation is key, so always refer to Mahle's specific instructions for this piston set to ensure correct ring gap, bearing clearance, and piston-to-wall clearance.

This set is intended for serious engine builds where performance and durability are paramount. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always verify compatibility with your specific cylinder heads and crankshaft combination to achieve your desired engine build specifications.
