Manley Ford 4.6L Modular V8 3.572in Bore 1.220in CH -18.00 CC Piston Set

When you're rebuilding the heart of your 1996-2004 Ford Mustang's 4.6L Modular V8, you're getting a set of four forged pistons, each measuring 3.572 inches in bore diameter with a -18.00 CC dish. These aren't just any pistons; they're built with Manley's signature Platinum Series construction, designed for serious engine builders who demand reliability and performance. The pistons come complete with tool steel wrist pins and a moly skirt coating to help them glide smoothly against your cylinder walls.

Manley uses domestic 2618 alloy forgings for these pistons, which means they're exceptionally strong and can handle the demands of a performance engine. They've also paid close attention to the details that make a difference in power and longevity. The ring lands and grooves are machined to very precise standards, which helps ensure a solid seal for your piston rings, translating to more power. Plus, the cam and barrel skirt profiles are carefully shaped to reduce friction and wear on your cylinder walls, even when you're pushing the engine hard. Manley's unique manufacturing process allows them to machine the skirt and ring grooves in one go, ensuring they stay perfectly square to each other for optimal performance.

This set is a solid choice for anyone looking to build a robust engine for their Mustang. Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
