Manley Ford 4.6L Modular V8 Piston Set - 3.552in Bore 1.200in CH, -23.00 CC

When you're rebuilding the heart of your 1996-2004 Ford Mustang's 4.6L Modular V8, you want parts you can trust. This set of forged pistons from Manley Performance is built for serious engine work, offering a solid foundation for enhanced power and durability. They feature a 3.552-inch bore and a -23.00cc dish, which is a specific volume designed to work with certain compression ratios for performance builds.

Manley uses domestic 2618 alloy forgings for these pistons, a material known for its strength and ability to handle the demands of high-performance engines. The pistons come with tool steel wrist pins and feature proven cam and barrel skirt profiles. These profiles are carefully shaped to help generate power while also being gentle on your cylinder walls, which is crucial for longevity. Manley also pays close attention to the ring lands and grooves, machining them to strict standards to ensure a better seal from your piston rings, leading to more efficient combustion and ultimately, more power.

What you get in this set are eight forged pistons, eight tool steel wrist pins, and eight sets of wrist pin locks. Manley's manufacturing process uses unique fixturing that allows them to machine the skirt and cut the ring grooves in a single operation. This ensures the ring grooves are perfectly square to the piston skirt, which is another detail that contributes to a better ring seal and overall engine performance. These pistons are a popular choice among professional engine builders for their reliability and performance characteristics.
