1993 2.3 Auto to 5.0 Manual

They only made those pistons in standard bore so my guess would be that the block is standard bore. Take the block to the machine shop and they can mic it. Last set of rings we used on a stock block refresh were speed pros and we got them at OReillys.

If you do not know the history on the valve springs you should consider replacing them.

If they vat the block it will wipe out the cam bearings. Talk to them about looking at the cam bearings and assess if they can be reused.

Head bolts and main bolts should be replaced.

New oil pump (check the pickup tube and replace if necessary), timing chain, check the crank and make sure it doesn’t need to be turned, new rod and main bearings, etc.

If you have never done this before it seems daunting but it’s not. Biggest thing is communicate what you want and you budget to the machine shop. They will guide you and hopefully they are a reputable shop.

Are those the heads you are going to use? If so flip it over and there should be a part number like what was on the piston in the rocker arm area. Just curious what they are.

I see GT40p and 7L11

These are the springs you need.

I was going to buy a cam kit with springs, should I still use these?

These are specific to the GT40 family heads. I believe they are good up 0.540” lift.

Ask who you are getting the cam from if they have springs that will work on the heads you have.

Lunati Streetmaster

Call Lunati and my bet is they will either have springs or can recommend a set.
