Piston question?
Hello.
I've got my hands on this 1968 390 engine.
And I'm currently trying to find out whats inside this machine.
I've tracked down almost every part, without the pistons. They are in aluminum and have valve reliefs. I can get a photo if that would make it easier.
The casting is this, C8AE - 6110A and maybe 4 or H after the A. Not sure, it could just be some dirt or casting faults.
There is also some castings on the side, it says 390 and 2V.
Does that mean that they where used in low comp 2V applications?
But i can not understant that either, why use alu pistons in low comp app?
Or maybe they are from the high comp 2V engine?
This is kinda confusing, because I've been searching around and haven't found out anything interesting about them on the web. Also been looking around in several different forums, but nothing.
So i was hoping someone in here could help out.
Nilsen
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
