Re: Oversize Piston Pins For V8

Big block Mopar piston pins are 1.094". Pretty expensive to bore rods out .116".

Big block Ford piston pins are better. They're only 1.0403". Press out the bushings, hone .001" under for Ford press fit. But then if using Packard pistons. ya' gotta hone the pistons.

It's possible to make Ford 370" dump truck pistons fit a 352", but that's really a lot of machining and rebalancing. BTDT, got another set with rings if anyone wants a HEAVY duty cast piston.
