I'm rebuilding a 1700 v4 motor from a sonett, it's the ford v4 engine i guess. I'm not building a full out race motor but i would like to build somthing with alittle bit more power. I'm looking for a set of pistons for a decient price, i've read that pistons from pintos, capri's, mustangs. I took my dial bore guage to the bore and if i'm reading this correctly it looks like the bore is 3.6062" which converts to 91.597479~mm. I was told the bore on these was exactly 90mm so is this one already overborded or is 90mm the piston size and the 1.597479~mm extra i'm seeing is the clearance+wear?
What compression ratio can i get away with on pump gas (91 oct)? What's a good set of pistons for a decient price? I would rather not spend $500 on pistons. This engine's going to go in a boat, it will be spinning 6-7K rpm alot.
