Just for curiosity sake....I emails Mahle about custom pistons for a 6.9 utilizing the 7.3 turbo wrist pin.
Well it can be done but we need to order 500 pieces....
Thus it's rather expensive....read the emailed response
Mr. McCormick,
Good after noon. I have been given your request about the above 6.9 / 7.3L pistons for the Navistar / Ford engines.
We do offer 2 different pistons for the 6.9L engine. The pin on the current production is 1.110" X 2.700".
We offer a piston with a Hard Anodized crown for aftermarket turbos. The part number for this is 144111HA030 ( only offered in a .030" oversize)
To answer your question about making a piston for the 6.9L with a bigger pin is yes, but it would be very expensive and would require a minimum order of 500 pieces.
I am sure that the 144111HA030 would be a good fit. I do know that there are people using these in mild performance trucks. (not recommended by MAHLE)
Please let me know if there is any other questions I can answer for you.
Kind Regards,
Eric Miller
