C3AE-C rods and forged pistons? Pitfalls?
By R. Hunt - 11/18/2004 1:12:03 PM; IP 162.40.27.241
I want to use some L2245F .030 oversize pistons in my 428 with C3AE-C rods. Will there be a balance issue? This engine is not going to be used for high revs or anything like that. This engine is in my 76 F100 and will be used as a truck just for hardware store runs and such.
The pistons that are in this engine are B174 (known today as P174) .030 oversize Badger pistons. They have never caused a vibration, but they are just cast pistons whereas the L2245F pistons are forged.

Basically I just don't know what to expect since I have never used any forged pistons before.

Any help will be appreciated.
