Mahle MS Piston Set SBC 358ci 4.040in Bore 3.500stk 6.000in Rod .0927in Pin -2cc 10.8 CR Set of 8

If you're building or rebuilding a high-performance Small Block Chevy engine, especially for a 359 cubic inch application, a solid set of pistons is crucial. These Mahle MS series pistons are forged from 4032 aluminum, a material known for its strength and durability, making them a well-built choice for demanding builds. They feature a flat-top design with a -2.4cc dish, which, when paired with the specified stroke and rod length, helps achieve a 10.8:1 compression ratio. This compression level is often targeted for naturally aspirated street/strip applications where a good balance of power and pump gas drivability is desired.

Each piston in this set weighs in at approximately 379 grams, contributing to a well-balanced rotating assembly, which is key for engine longevity and smooth operation at higher RPMs. The 0.927-inch pin diameter is standard for many performance Small Block Chevy applications. Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, and this piston set reflects their commitment to providing reliable parts for performance engine builds. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
