When we bought the Mk II, it had 351W heads on a Hi-Po 289 block. The
pistons were off-the-shelf forged TRW "pop-ups" rated at 12:1 (for the
289 heads). Seems to me like they should still be very available.

You still need a 260/289/302 intake manifold gasket set for the little
front/rear pieces--the ones in the 351 gasket set will be too long.
