Back in th e early 70's had a high school classmate with a 65 Mustang coupe,289,3speed,all stock..... He had bought it used with 30,000 or so miles and drove it like he hated the car and wanted to brake it.... It took him two years,but one day the car starts missing and did not have the normal power,after driving it about a week,he went by a local mechanic to have him check it out....Ran a compression test and found one cylinder with zero compression,pulled the head and all there was was the rod with the wristpin still attached in the cylinder bore,you can imagine what the cylinder wall looked like.......The remains of the piston were in the oil pan,he drove that car a week like that probably putting a hundred or more miles on it and it was still going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the piston is gone it is most definetly in the oil pan or at least most of the pieces............
