Any guesses what this came out of? (it's larger than it looks, shoulda taken a reference shot next to something)

I'm guessing it's from an aircraft.

American V-8 bout 500+ CID wedge motor not Hemi. Stroker by the look of the pin to oil ring and short skirt. Pop up for around 13:1 compression. Carrillo H beam steel rod.

I'm with Eric, that part looks completely foreign to me. I think this is a trick.

It's a JE piston from a fuel injection test engine from a NASCAR Toyota Camry. I've got the destroyed rod from the same engine as well. Father-in-law works for Michael Waltrip Racing and he sends me fun little things from time to time.

My mom is a huge Michael Waltrip fan. She was all bummed about his early wreck last weekend.
