SPEED PRO Forged Flat Top 4vr 4Bbl Pistons/8+CAST Rings for Ford 390 V8 FE .040

This item is for eight (8) .040-in. over bore Speed Pro (Sealed Power) forged flat top with 4-valve reliefs pistons and a cast piston ring set (Hastings/MAHLE) for Ford 390ci FE-series V-8 engines. P/N (8) L2291F-040 + 574-040. Feel free to message us with any fitment questions.

These pistons are Speed Pro's forged version of the 1966-1970 year model 4-barrel pistons. These pistons can be used as a performance upgrade in engines originally equipped with dish top pistons.

FALCON TECH NOTE: These pistons have a 1.776-in. compression distance, and some 390ci engines require a "shorter" piston; 1.66-in. compression height. Before ordering, make sure these pistons will work for your application.

Speed Pro forged pistons are made from extruded VMS-75 aluminum alloy that is forged under 3,000 tons of pressure to "near-net" shape. After that, they are machined to their final configuration. These pistons offer excellent strength and durability and are capable of taking the punishment that is dished out on the street and in competition.
