• Tool steel wrist pins provide increased durability and precise fitment for reliable piston-to-connecting rod connection.
• Moly skirt coatings on select part numbers reduce friction and improve wear characteristics.
• 23cc dished piston design optimizes compression ratio and combustion efficiency for performance tuning.
• Designed specifically for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI engines with a 3.917-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke configuration.
• Set of eight pistons included, suitable for complete V8 engine builds or rebuilds.
• Trusted by professional engine builders and tuners for consistent quality and performance.

Construction & Design

These pistons are crafted using Manley’s signature "Platinum Series" forging process, utilizing 2618 alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability. The cam and barrel skirt profiles have been extensively tested to reduce piston slap and improve ring seal, contributing to smoother engine operation and extended component life.

The inclusion of tool steel wrist pins ensures a robust connection between piston and connecting rod, capable of withstanding high RPM and load conditions. Additionally, the moly skirt coating on select pistons reduces friction between the piston and cylinder wall, minimizing wear and improving overall engine efficiency.

Installation & Fitment

This piston set is designed as a direct fit for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI engines with the specified bore and stroke dimensions. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and precise machining to ensure proper clearances and fitment. These pistons are ideal for custom builds, rebuilds, and stroker applications where durability and performance are paramount.

• Fits Chrysler 5.7L HEMI engines with 3.917-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke.
