If then two equal 7,000 cfm and a claim is made that it is too much carb, I’ll argue and say, “Wrong! Not ENOUGH engine!”
Ha ha ha….
Most people have been AROUND CARS their whole lives.
Thanks!!! Some of us even the correct ones! I was 2 when this one was bought.. working on it with my, 7 year older, Brother when I was 9 or 10. Haven't stopped since...

I got you Dan.
But ya-know what else we see all the time; In goes the lo-rpm budget build and a lil time goes by and the budget engine stars to morph. So you might as well build amid-rpm rpm short block, in the first place, and just top it off the lo-po 5000 rpm top end, which can be swapped out at any time. If yur buying pistons anyway, the cost difference in the short, is just a fraction of the cost of the whole.
I've never been sorry with my 7000rpm short.
And you gotta admit, the KB107s are pretty light. Plus, with open chamber iron heads, every cc is gonna count. My KBs came in at .012 down. From .027 to .012 is a free 3cc, which is like 3% of the total volume.
Happy Selection Process.
You tell’em AJ! I’m with him in this. IMO, ether hyper slug above?the KB or Sealed Power) will be fine. Topped with your iron heads and an.050 head gasket, compression will be around 9.5-1 or less depending on several factors of course.
If the performance bug hits and you spring for heads, the ratio will rise (cc dependent) and allow for a bigger cam and more power.

what are you trying to do, negotiate the price of a car you're thinking of buying by informing the seller how much a new set of pistons is going to cost because you have to rebuild the bottom end?
you know what some guys do dan? they buy a car first, then they set out to working on it.

I thought everyone did that or they just bought a new car with a warranty.

Good choice. Bought these from Bob Mazollini 20 years ago. Still haven’t used them.
I have an NOS set for a Ford 351C.
Will I have to bore the cylinders on my 318 to make them fit...

Dan buy a car...
You don't seem to want to understand we are getting tired of answering your fantasy questions...
By the time you get a car (if it actually happens
) three quarters of the forum is going to have you on egnor because of all the "crying wolf"...
I been around many people who have "been around cars" all of their lives and still don't know crap about them... (Like the difference between different Pistons...)
Look we've all done the research we've all put out the money and we've all lost money doing it in most cases. We've made our sacrifices time wise and money wise and it's time you do the same like Mom would say crap or get off the pot...

No doubt! All the best will probably not even bother with you.
This is where I call B.S. on Dan. I knew the difference between pistons in Jr. high school. Years before I owned my first car.
Yup! Such is the case in anything car related. It is what it is!
Freakin-A!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong I like dan the man... Seems like a really nice guy that needs to get a car LOL...I keep trying to tell myself this isn't a 12 year old playin us all.
We know he has the money he lives in the most expensive house in Missouri...
Buy high quality parts and send the block off to a slow machine shop. Make sure to let us know where you're located so we can keep an eye out for the estate sale.
