Drove down and paid in full pick up on friday. What amazed me was that the fpv short is $300 cheaper than the ford fg xr6 turbo short motor, so if anyone wants 1 they have 8 left at ford. High rwks here I come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 5m 20d Posted 12/08/10 11:59 AM Share Posted 12/08/10 11:59 AM Pretty sure the pistons are the same too.. I could be wrong, however I remember Karl had a conversation with Brad from Atomic and even he said they were the same.I will try and post some pictures of my Standard FG F6 pistons tomorrow.. They didn't look much different to me..Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
