D9tE piston Comp Ht

Anyone know if the truck pistons have a different pin height from a passenger car piston?
Pulled the heads off of my mock up engine that has truck rods & piston in it and I have about .050 deck ht. clearance w/ an uncut DIVE-8016-A2 block.
Thanks, Sheldon

E7TE piston is 1.750 .040 in the hole on a 10.32 deck F3TE piston is 1.770 .020 in the hole @ 10.320 deck.

I don't think there ever was a 1979 passenger car 460 engine. As far as I am aware, 1978 was the last year of a 460 passenger car..

That's true Randy. 1978 was the last year it was used in a car.

I probably should have worded this differently, it was more directed to a typical 460 passenger car piston(D3 to D8) pin location compared to the 460 truck piston pin location from a D9 engine if there is any difference between them.
 I was just surprised at how far below deck these were and didn't measure the actual deck clearance during assembly; I was primarily concerned with having enough piston to valve clearance so I could use what I had on hand at the time.
Probably a good part of why the car felt soft off of the line.

From the notes i have:
68 to 78 a USA passenger car piston has a 1.752" compression height however, has .240" deep oblong dish.
73 to 87 light duty truck engines and 75 & 76 medium duty trucks use the same piston.
88 to 93 light duty truck pistons have a compression height of 1.752" but, have a .065" deep oblong dish.
93 to 97 light duty truck engines have a 1.772" compression but, have a .189" deep oblong dish and use a metric ring pack.

Thanks Randy,
The pistons I had have the huge dish in them plus roughly .050 below deck. I think I read somewhere that these are dished 32cc, does this sound right?

1973-1987: 21cc
1988-1992: 7cc
1993-1997: 16cc

Dish volumes noted above are approximate.

As are fords assembly practices.... If the deck didn't clean up at 10.3 10.1 is good... or less...
