Mahle MS Piston Set SBC 359ci 4.04in Bore 3.500in Stroke 5.7in Rod .927in Pin -4cc 10.6 CR Set of 8

If you're rebuilding a Chevrolet Small Block engine and looking for a solid set of pistons for a 359 cubic inch displacement, this Mahle MS Piston Set is a well-built option. These pistons are designed to work with a 3.500 inch stroke and a 5.700 inch connecting rod, featuring a 4.040 inch bore. The .927 inch pin size is standard for many performance applications, and the -4cc dish volume helps achieve a 10.6:1 compression ratio with the right cylinder head volume.

Mahle is known for making reliable engine components, and this set is no exception. Constructed from durable materials, these pistons are built to handle the demands of a performance engine. Each piston weighs in at 433 grams, which is a reasonable weight for this type of component, contributing to good overall engine balance. The 4032 aluminum alloy used is a popular choice for forged pistons because it offers a good balance of strength and thermal expansion properties, making it suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures.

This set includes eight pistons, enough for a complete V8 engine. It's important to note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions and specifications to ensure proper fitment and performance with your specific engine build, including verifying compatibility with your chosen cylinder heads and crankshaft to achieve the target compression ratio.
