May 25 2005, 11:06 PM Forged Pistons VS Cast The forged piston will give you more durability, especially in a blown or nitrous application. I don't know how hard you plan to run your BIRD with the new engine, but forged gives you a lot more leeway in fuel mixture and timing events. But you also have...

LINC had a dropping sales history during this period (economic recession) and FORD had the extra engines. The engine used is actually a 58/59 LINC...

Maybe? I believe the MEL C6 is almost identical to the regular C6 other than the main case, and that only differing on the bolt pattern to the block. Is it possible you have a TWIN-TURBO? Is the bell and main case one piece (aluminum) or two separate pieces? Do you see a metal assembly I.D. tag on t...
