o/t dodge piston

jnr ford · Jul 13, 2009

some one told me that a dodge 360 piston would fit in a ford 351 and give it more power is that true

I don't know if it will work of not, but pistons are not brand specific. It is all of the measurements that you need to match.

You can't find what you need listed for the ford?

Just put the whole 360 in.

For a Ford if you want power go to a 460.

More than just diameter comes into play here .Wrist pin location must match.Summit has a sale on Ford pistons for 351W right now I would just go by what a catalog says for the Ford.What if they where taklking about a 351 Clevland? It could be just a bad purchase.351w is popular enough to get what you want without specing[is that even a word?] mopar parts.If you were dealing with obsolete stuff then you can cross connect but I dont see why in this case.Plenty of Ford stuff available.

A ford 312 Y block piston, .060 over works great in a Model T engine. It's not a compression thing, just a lot lighter and takes much strain off the rods.

Anything more modern than that I'd just stick with the "right" stuff.
