NASCAR Engine Pistons & Rods Evolution: Lake Speed's Vintage Ford C3 Gets Modern Technology!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The team moves to the quality lab at CP Carrillo, where two pistons are presented: an old piston from the early 2000s and a new, redesigned piston intended for the Ford C3 engine. The initial discussion centers on what made the old piston 'state-of-the-art' for its time (around 2002), despite appearing 'old school' by today's standards. Key aspects like basic functionality and initial machining quality are briefly mentioned.

Goal: Visually compare old and new piston designs and understand historical context.

Tools and materials

  • New Piston — Demonstrating modern design advancements, Old Piston (used) CP Carrillo used for Baseline for comparison
