Mahle MS Piston Set SBF 482ci 4.25in Bore 4.250in Stroke 6.7in Rod 0.990 Pin -9cc 12.0 CR Set of 8

If you're building a high-performance Ford FE engine, especially one aiming for a 482 cubic inch displacement, a solid set of pistons is crucial. This Mahle MS Piston Set is designed for that kind of serious build, where every component needs to work together to handle increased power and stress. These pistons are forged from 4032 aluminum, a material known for its strength and ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures, making them a well-built choice for performance applications.

This set is engineered for a 4.250-inch bore and a 4.250-inch stroke, paired with a 6.700-inch rod and a 0.990-inch pin. The -9cc dish volume contributes to a 12.0:1 compression ratio, which is ideal for maximizing power output in many performance engine builds. At 498 grams each, these pistons offer a good balance of strength and weight, helping to keep reciprocating mass in check for better engine response. Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, and this set reflects their focus on creating parts that perform reliably under demanding conditions.

When undertaking a project like this, remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's always a good idea to consult with your engine builder or refer to Mahle's installation guidelines to ensure proper fitment and assembly with your specific crankshaft, connecting rods, and cylinder heads to achieve the intended compression ratio and performance goals.
