So, you can see this particular block is still pretty thick even after being punched out to what many believe to be the outer limits for a street engine.
During tear down, I was surprised to find this motor had Ford script four ring pistons. We didn't know Ford ever offered pistons in this large of an oversize.
Hopefully more good news to follow...

More than likely those pistons are counterfeit. Compare that Ford script closely with a known real Ford piston.
