Mahle MS Pistons Ford 445cid 4.221in Bore 3.976 Stroke 6.319 Rod 0.990 Pin -20.5cc 10.5CR Set of 8

What you get in this box is a complete set of eight Mahle MS forged pistons, ready to go into your Ford 445 cubic inch engine. These pistons are built for performance, featuring a 4.221-inch bore and a -20.5cc dish volume, which helps achieve a 10.5:1 compression ratio. This setup is designed for the Ford Godzilla engine platform, aiming to improve its power output and efficiency.

Mahle uses 2618 aluminum for these pistons, a strong and reliable material commonly chosen for high-performance applications because it can handle the heat and stress of demanding engine builds. Each piston weighs in at 492 grams, and they are designed with a 3.976-inch stroke and a 6.319-inch rod length in mind, ensuring proper geometry within the engine. The 0.990-inch pin diameter is standard for many performance builds, making them compatible with a wide range of connecting rods. This set is a solid choice if you're rebuilding or significantly upgrading your Ford V8's top end.

Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For a successful installation, you'll want to ensure you have the correct connecting rods, crankshaft, and all necessary supporting components for your specific engine build. Refer to Mahle's installation guidelines for detailed specifications and recommendations.
