Manley Performance Stroker Series Pistons

Chrysler 5.7L HEMI V8

597320CE-8

Overview:

The Manley Stroker Series Pistons are precision-engineered components designed specifically for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI engines. Crafted to enhance engine performance and durability, these pistons are ideal for enthusiasts and professional engine builders seeking reliable, high-quality forged pistons for stroker builds or performance upgrades.

Whether you are building a street performance engine or a high-output race motor, these pistons provide the strength and design features necessary to withstand increased cylinder pressures and demanding operating conditions. You’ll get improved reliability and consistent performance from a trusted name in the automotive industry.

Key Features:

Manley’s Stroker Series Pistons incorporate advanced materials and design elements to deliver superior strength and efficiency:

• Forged from premium 2618 aluminum alloy for excellent strength and fatigue resistance under high stress.
• Proven cam and barrel skirt profiles reduce friction and wear, enhancing piston stability and longevity.
• Tool steel wrist pins provide superior durability and precise fitment for reliable piston-to-rod connection.
• Moly skirt coatings on select part numbers reduce friction and improve break-in characteristics.
• 3.937-inch bore diameter and 1.085-inch compression height tailored for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI stroker applications.
• 14cc dish volume design optimizes combustion chamber shape for improved detonation resistance and tuning flexibility.
• Extended dome (E/D) configuration supports increased compression ratios and performance tuning.
• Set of 8 pistons included, suitable for complete V8 engine builds.

Construction & Design:

These pistons are manufactured using Manley’s signature "Platinum Series" process, which ensures consistent quality and performance. The 2618 alloy forging offers a perfect balance of strength and thermal conductivity, making it ideal for high-performance engines that experience elevated temperatures and pressures.

The carefully engineered cam and barrel skirt profiles reduce piston slap and improve ring seal, contributing to enhanced efficiency and engine smoothness. The moly skirt coating further minimizes friction during initial break-in and throughout the piston’s service life.

Each piston features a dished crown with a -14cc volume, allowing for precise combustion chamber control and compatibility with various cylinder head designs and compression ratios. The tool steel wrist pins provide a robust connection to the connecting rods, ensuring durability under high RPM and load conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

These pistons are designed as direct replacements for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI stroker engine builds requiring a 3.937-inch bore and 1.085-inch compression height. They fit applications where a -14cc dish piston is specified to optimize combustion chamber volume and compression ratio.

Installation should be performed by experienced engine builders or technicians familiar with precision engine assembly. Proper ring fitting, clearances, and balancing are essential for optimal performance and longevity.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 forged 2618 alloy pistons with -14cc dish design
• Tool steel wrist pins
• Moly skirt coatings applied on select pistons

Ideal For:

• Performance enthusiasts building or upgrading Chrysler 5.7L HEMI stroker engines
• Professional engine builders requiring durable, high-strength forged pistons
• Street and race applications demanding improved reliability and power potential
• Engine builds aiming for optimized compression and combustion chamber design

Manley Performance manufactures high-strength engine internals for serious builds—especially forged pistons, connecting rods, valves, and valvetrain components developed for racing and high-output street applications. If you’re building for boost, high compression, or sustained RPM, Manley is a common choice for parts engineered to take abuse and keep power reliable.
