hi guys, in the process of trying to identify what is actually fitted to my westfield V8, i have taken a close up pick of the pistons, that i was told were forged, do any of the markings on them mean anything>?

They look like Ford Modular

Looks like a stock AE RV8 slug to me that's had the valve notches machined into in much like the majority of TVR fitted RV8's

ok the inside of the piston reads "hepolite HRC1827 and also 22058A"

found someone on line who seems to specialise in pistons, according to his books, these are RR 3.9 low compression?

Sounds about right is it out of that TVR 4.3 motor by chance?

Tbh no idea where any of the stuff originally came from as some of the spec doesn't match what I have in front of me
