datz280 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Ok, I am getting ready to order some forged pistons from ROSS. I have the measurements and was checking what was as measured vs. the Engine Design utility and there are some variances. Currently I am refreshing the engine with a +1mm overbore. I will be putting it into my 280. Future goals are to run a holset, intercooler, increased fuel delivery, and MegaSquirt. I am building a weekend road car. I found my rod lenth 130.530 and the design utility is 130.2 My rods are +.3 My block height is 207.899 and the design utility is 207.85 a difference of +.049 my head CC is 54 instead of 53.6 and my gasket height as measured off the old one is 1.27 not 1.25 I have never ordered pistons before and do not know how much of a variance in my measurements is acceptable. If it helps I can lay out all the measurements I gathered. Also I used a formula to find piston height above the block (I did not measure before disassembly) and found +.10 which seems to be about average. The head and block will be surfaced and have checked out to be sound. Thank you, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
