federal-mogul pistons? has anyone used them?

By mlallen - 07/07/2003 1:28:31 PM; IP 64.95.214.11

I recently rebuilt a 70 390 and used federal mogul pistons. when they were installed I found them to be .037 below the deck. when i compared the new pistons to the old ones they were approx .035 shorter.
I just read where Car craft mag. rebuilt a chrysler 360 with the same brand and they had to machine a "whopping .040 " off the block.
What gives? has anyone ran across this with this brand of pistons before.

This thread, so far...
