FEs were stock in '61-'63 Mercurys.  My god father had one when I was in high school that I drove regularly.

Those are Comets. IMO, not good looking pre-'64. To each his own. Not crazy about intermediate S-33's, either, but I'm try to get unique here. Waste of time, I know.

New Diamond slugs showed up.   Got 'em all weighed, measured so we can balance the crank.   Trend tool steel pins.

How heavy are those compared to OEM and how much compression are you shooting for?

I don’t remember you talking about aluminum rods.
I’ll go back and scan.

Found it
MGPs
I’m interested because I’ve thought about this as I have a close friend that used to be a Child’s and Albert guy and we were yakking about aluminum rods in an FE.

These pistons weigh 416g with the dome.  Not much compression, 11:1.

Haha, I've changed directions so many times I'm surprised that I can even remember what I'm doing with it.

What I meant to say was how heavy were the oem pistons?  I'm just curious.

I don't think I've ever had a factory 352 piston off the rod to weigh them, I usually toss them.  My guess is probably 600-650g????  Somebody else may have a much better idea.

Well, you've certainly left the "junky junk" part of this build way behind. Far behind. Not just in the last zip code, but in the last time zone.

The only way to redeem yourself from this fiasco is to buy a Chevy bracket roller and make multiple appearances with the combo. It will set the General Mayhem crowd into looting and rioting mode. Oh wait.....

Oh, those are WAY too pretty to hide in an engine! Best to hang them on the wall and ogle them, I say!
