FS: Set NOS? Ford Cast Iron Pistons 0.033" OS? $50
FS: A set of cast iron pistons. 3 of them are marked "Ford 0.033 O.S." The fourth one is stamped too lightly to read but they all appear to be part of the same set, and none of them look like they've ever been run. As cast iron pistons these are probably better suited for a static display than a running engine. I don't know why they made them in such an odd size, but that's just my modern perspective. Asking $50 for all four, not including shipping.
Thanks for looking!

Cast iron pistons are fine for a T run at normal speeds.

Nothing wrong with cast iron pistons. Ive run them on more than a couple cars. Only issue I had was getting the weights the same.

This particular oversize was for engines rebuilt at branch plants.
