The Mahle MS Piston Set for Ford Small Block engines is designed for high-performance applications with a 349 cubic inch displacement. These pistons feature a 4.040-inch bore and a 3.4-inch stroke, optimized for precise engine build and durability. The set includes eight pistons with a .927-inch pin diameter, and each piston is engineered with a compression ratio of approximately 10.1:1, ensuring efficient power output and fuel economy. Constructed with advanced coatings of phosphate and Grafal, these pistons provide excellent wear resistance and corrosion protection, extending the engine's lifespan and maintaining optimal performance over time. The pistons have a negative deck height of -6.5cc, contributing to achieving desired compression levels and engine efficiency. The set's total weight is approximately 405 grams per piston, balancing strength and weight for reliable operation at high RPMs and heavy loads. Designed specifically for Ford Small Block engines, these pistons are not carburetor approved but require carb acknowledgment during installation, making them suitable for specialized automotive builds. These pistons are ideal for enthusiasts and professional mechanics seeking durable and high-quality components for custom engine projects, race engines, or performance upgrades.
