49T pistons in a 8BA

[stegomo]

Can you put 49T pistons in an 8BA engine?

I don't believe I've ever seen 49T pistons.

Pistons from a pre 49 flathead V8

Will a early non offset pistonpin piston fit in a late block...sure...will it perform as it was designed to...no.

 

[stegomo]

So all the aftermarket pistons that fit 39-53 have offset pins?

So all the aftermarket pistons that fit 39-53 have offset pins?

Do your pistons have an orientation mark on the dome?

 

[stegomo]

No there are no marks on them

 

[flatjack9]

Then they are not offset.
