Hi Dave,

I knew you were going to ask me that! The pistons are the ones that came with the Ford crate motor, so perhaps the Motorsport catalog would be a place to look. I'm on the road right now and mine's ~400 miles from here - sorry. The rods are Scat/Eagle H-beam, as the original Ford "truck" rods were literally garbage.

The cam is the most aggressive Crane hydraulic roller I could find at the time: P/N 359351, with their hydraulic rollers. Expensive but I'm very happy with it

If you go to a steel cam (the roller cam is steel), get the matching steel distributor gear from Crane and pay very close attention to its location vertically on the distributor shaft!

If you still need the piston ID a couple of weeks from now, please give a shout.

Regards,

Tom
