Low CR, dished pistons in SHO V8 (should fit 2.5)! - 08/22/02 03:23 PM
OK, you FI guys might like this. I was following a link that lead to this nice page that talks about the SHO V8. The pistons are apparently dished (as opposed to Duratec domes). Now, remember the 3.4 V8 is essentially the same bore/stroke as the 2.5 with 2 extra cylinders. So I "think" the pistons (rods too) may fit the 2.5L.....If correct, this may be a cheap source of low CR factory pistons. If anybody cares..
