Not Ranked
Well I'm committed to a .927 pin. I got Mahle flat tops with pin height of 1.300. They were the only "Shelf Piston" that I could find with 1.300. They were actually for a 351/408 application. I guess not too many use a 5.400 rod with a 3.0 stroke, generally people jump to stroker applications, but right now thats not anything I'm wanting to do. I hope I don't regret it. I'm trying to avoid the word "Custom" but still do real nice build. They are a short skirt type with a short pin. I've got a real real nice .010/.010 Boss 302 steel crank. I guess I could sell it and buy an aftermarket one with 2.000 or 2.100 journals. Back in the day the Ford camp used a 5.315 rod length instead of the 5.155 that was the production 289/Boss 302 length.
