pistons/rods.....???

silverstang · November 24th, 2008, 02:46 PM

hey guys im sneaking in the 4v section to get some info lol..........Im building an engine for my 07 GT, thinking strongly about using Termi rods (found a good deal).......my question is do the GT pistons work with the Termi rods?? i found a good deal on a set of brand new Mahle flat tops for a 3v, thats why i am wondering. thanks

are the pistons bored?

silverstang · November 25th, 2008, 12:07 PM

what do you mean bored?? they are standard size pistons, are the wrist pins different sizes or something??

Mustang RacR94 · November 25th, 2008, 12:38 PM

you dont bore a piston, you bore a block, youd just buy pistons that are for the bored over car, wouldnt you?

silverstang · November 25th, 2008, 02:12 PM

yea i understand what SIZE pistons i need (im going standard bore).........i was looking for a quick answer to IF a piston made for a GT will fit on a stock Termi rod or if i would have to get pistons made especially for the termi

The 3v and 4v use the same rotating assembly parts so I'm lead to believe.

2002BLGT · November 25th, 2008, 06:49 PM

from what I know they all use the same rods , so it should work fine , even the 2v use the same rods from what I have seen

silverstang · November 26th, 2008, 01:34 AM

i think you guys are right..........looking around on websites like Wiseco and JE all the piston pin diameters are the same from 2v, 3v, and 4v pistons, all stroke lengths are the same, so i am lead to believe a 3v piston will work with the termi rods.........thats good because a local MM member has a killer deal on some that i cant pass up..........next question, how much HP will the stock Termi H beams and crank hold up too??

futureMACH1racer · November 26th, 2008, 01:38 AM

700hp is what they claim, but if you're buying thme then get better pistons.

SWEET2KSTANG · November 26th, 2008, 02:15 AM

the manley rods from the termi's will work just fine. they are standard 5.933 rods. the manley rods are rated for 800hp at 8k rpm's.
