Apparently thes pistons have the gudgeon pin off set (about .060") and I am led to believe that the U.S./ Can. Ford pistons are not. So Guys we are waiting to learn all about them. Thanks.
Lynn,

I have the answer, what is the prize?

They are for the Ford 3 ton 4x4 truck that Ford in England produced to a Ministry of Supply Contract, dated 1951. The Model was 2E Binned Stores , 3E Ambulance and 4E LAA Tractor. The engine was a sidevalve V8 with a vertical distributor. I am led to believe it was a Canadian design. Apparantly, word was that they suffered from valve seats coming loose. Only details on engine spec. that I have to hand is capacity, 3920 cc, 92 BHP.

Is that of help?

Richard
