Hello everyone !
I'm getting ready to rebuild my 99-04 Mustangs. I want a daily driver with forged internals, so I can spray some NOS on occasion.
I want to keep the reliablity and gas milage of the 3.8L, but being able to press the "Go-Baby-Go" button once in a while would be cool. I contacted Wiseco and custom pistons are $250-$275 each. Then the 351W rods are unknown price at this time. Mainly because I'm not sure what length I need to order. I've also read comments on piston position for naturally aspirated use and NOS. Something about tolerances and combustion chamber heat. Anyway, I don't know what to do. Seems like the easiest way would be to just put Super Coupe internals, but I'm not exactly sure if I can run SC pistons with NA and NOS. The Wiseco off the shelf replacement pistons are still available in .020 over and are advertised as 9:1 compression. The .030 over pistons seem to be no longer available. I need help guys. Thanks in advance !
