piston weights
By david - 01/14/2004 10:24:39 PM; IP 12.73.250.53
I opened up my 66gta and to my surprise I found a 3U crankshaft and pistons that have about .112 deck clearance. I calculated compression ratio to be around 8.2, a bit low. Rods were c7ae-b. Heads are c6ae-r. Does anyone know what the piston weights were when the 3U crank was used? I figure if I can find higher compression pistons of stock weight, I won't have to rebalance. My other option is to use a 2u crank and c6ae-c rods that I have sitting around. I presume that pistons used with the 2u crank were a different weight. Does anyone know what piston weights are correct with the 2u crank? Thanks for the help!
