About this part

Product Details

Manley Performance is well-known for building robust engine components that professional builders trust. This piston set is designed for Chevrolet 5.3L LT Gen V engines and is a solid choice for anyone looking to rebuild or upgrade their engine. These pistons are forged from 2618 alloy, a material chosen for its exceptional strength and ability to handle high performance demands without deforming.

You'll find that these pistons feature proven cam and barrel skirt profiles, which help generate power while also being considerate of your cylinder walls during operation. The ring lands and grooves are machined to exacting standards, which is crucial for achieving a good seal with your piston rings. This enhanced seal means more efficient combustion and ultimately, more power. The set includes premium chrome moly wrist pins, and Manley's unique fixturing process ensures the ring grooves are perfectly square to the skirt, a detail that contributes to overall engine longevity and performance.

This set is specifically for a 3.780-inch bore with a 1.304-inch compression height and a -2.00cc valve relief. Please note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. If you're building a high-performance engine, these pistons offer a well-built foundation.
