I think I cracked a piston
My 95 stang has hyperautic pistons
My friend gave me a set of 87 gt pistons, are they forged?
I need good pistons to withstand boost abuse!
yes if they are 87 then they are forged, but I would be cautous of using a "used" piston, you may need a bore, and that will make the pistons useless. That and stock forged pistons are heavy. I had a bud that tried to cut a corner and bought a used set of pistons (Ross) and ended up tearing it back apart.
Its a good idea but for the work and all I would save and do it right the first time.
i agree, break down and buy some new pistons it's better than having another piston break and wiping out a lower end or worse haveing a rod sent through the side of your block. Je makes some nice pistons and they are reasonably priced.
