What is the purpose of the cam and barrel skirt profiles on these pistons?

The cam and barrel skirt profiles are designed to optimize the piston's movement within the cylinder. This design helps generate more power while also reducing friction and wear on the cylinder walls, contributing to longer engine life.

What is the significance of the -28.00 CC dish volume?

The -28.00 CC dish volume is a measurement of the indentation on the piston crown. This volume affects the engine's final compression ratio. A larger dish (more negative CC) will lower the compression ratio, which is often desirable for forced induction applications like turbocharging or supercharging.

Are these pistons suitable for a naturally aspirated build?

Yes, these pistons are built with strong 2618 alloy forgings and precise machining, making them a well-built option for both naturally aspirated and forced induction builds. Their robust construction can handle increased performance demands.

About this part

Product Details

Starting with domestic 2618 alloy forgings, these Manley pistons are built for serious performance in your 1996-2004 Ford Mustang's 4.6L Modular V8. The 2618 alloy is chosen for its exceptional strength, making these pistons a solid choice when you're pushing your engine beyond stock limits. They feature a bore size of 3.582 inches, a compression height of 1.200 inches, and a dish volume of -28.00 CC, which will affect your final compression ratio depending on your cylinder head volume.

Manley doesn't stop at just the forging. These pistons incorporate proven cam and barrel skirt profiles, designed to generate substantial power while minimizing wear on your cylinder walls. The ring lands and grooves are machined to exacting standards, which is crucial for achieving a tight ring seal and maximizing the power your engine makes. Each set also includes premium chrome moly wrist pins for added durability, and Manley's unique fixturing process ensures the ring grooves are perfectly square to the piston skirt, a detail that matters for consistent performance under load.

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 4.6L Modular V8 for boosted applications or just seeking a more robust naturally aspirated setup, these Manley pistons are a well-built component to consider. Keep in mind that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll want to consult your engine builder or a trusted resource for the correct ring set and bearing selection to complete your build.
