Ford 2.3L; L-4
Bore = 3.780"
Stroke = 3.126"
Ford 3.8L V6
Bore = 96.8mm - 3.81"
Stroke = 86mm - 3.39"
The V6 looks like the pistons might work on a bored 260. Not sure if the
SHO V6 was the same size engine and might have some tougher pistons.
All the best on your new engine build.

I believe the Ford Pinto pistons used in some mini-stock race cars are at
least the same diameter. Don't know about the other critical dimensions.
