lower pistons for the 2.6 12v ABC

Hi. Ive been searching all over the web for an awnser to this question and i cant find any reliable information at all. so what i would like to find out is if a 2.8 piston would fit in a 2.6 block or if there are any pistons out there that fit straight in. the goal is of course more displacement and more power. Best regards Aleks.

The answer if most likely yes. The best solution would be to get a good 2.8 short block and install it.

Ebay has an AFC 2.8 factory short block for about $500 plus shipping.

I'm no expert, but the 2.8 12V engines have MAF (mass airflow sensor). ABC engine does not have this.

what i was looking for is pistons only not a whole bottom end. buying a whole bottom end i could just as well swap the whole engine for a 30v. i do really appreciate the idea though. i just think i should keep the 2.6 as a unit but change internals. have to get some sharper cams and larger valves also
