Sorry guys, I am not familiar with the flat head engine or with pistons for that matter. A friend has a 1952 Nash statesman with what he calls a flat head, I ***ume the flathead engine is the same style for Ford? My question is, are Flat Pistons used for that engine? I thought I read somewhere that you use domed pistons for the flat head. any help would be appreciated. Here is a picture of the pistons I am talking about Pistons by loupeestuff posted Oct 8, 2016 at 11:57 AM S-l500 by loupeestuff posted Oct 8, 2016 at 12:03 PM
Sorry about the second post. I wasn't sure the pictures came up - So are you saying that these CAN be used with the flathead?
Sure. I used flat top pistons in my Plymouth flathead. Depends on the shape of the ***bustion chamber and compression ratio desired.
Egge Machine may be able to answer the question of piston interchangeability. https://egge.com/kit/na196m52/ Same piston used in other family of AMC cars. https://egge.com/part/egg-t100-l2232-6/
