I'm just wondering if anyone knows where abouts i can Find/Order forged flat top pistons and forged rods for a ef 250 I6. And the sizes of standard pistons and a recomended size to get. If anyone could give me a website or anything i can find this information from. I have looked for hours in the net and cant find a single thing.
Cheers

242 ior 243 cubes yeah the 250 was a 4.1 motor used in mid to late x-series. there has got to be some out there, but you can always get them made, i once inquired about getting drop forged pistons and rods but was way over the 3k mark, dont know if it was just because i was 17 at the time they thought they would try and bend me over.

yoU CAN get Forge Pistons but they will cost you $1600 and you gotta wait about 3-6 months for them to make them for you, they dont have them on the shelf for the falcons there all custome made to order. A set of jcc pistons will be strong enough, and they only cost like $300. JCC make turbo pistons and pistons for NOS, and NA. If you want any info PM and ill send you details where you can get these from.
