3.2 piston question
I'm sure somewhere in this vast wealth of P-car knowledge someone will know the answer to this: Is it possible to mill down a set of stock 3.2 pistons (US version) "slightly" to lower compression? (for obvious reasons) I have heard of this being done on the 3.6 but I'm not sure if its ever been done on the 3.2
Thanks in advance!

My limited research prior to my engine rebuild suggests you can use a thicker base gasket to lower the CR to achieve the same thing?

I hope people are trying to lower compression in order to add forced induction and not because the fuel has become so crappy?
