    I have a 8BA in my 50 fordor that broke a ring so this weekend I tore it apart and come to find out its a std bore with FoMoCo pistons and std fomoco bearings. Looks to have maybe been a crate motor as it has little to no ware on it. So my question is I need to get rings for it to repair it and get it back going so who do i get rings for original 4 ring pistons from? It looks like the upper ring might be slightly larger then lower. All help would be appreciated Thanks.

    Call Hastings and order single set of rings in the appropriate size.

    Seems to me that you should be running down to your local old ford parts supplier. Most have NOS parts around and Std piston rings are all over. You location points out Fresno so why dont you try All Ford in Cambell.

    Thanks for the information. I do believe I have found a place locally that has a set.
