The one thing they did usually do was make a fairly thick crown (and also heavy) piston. You could machine the other pistons to suit and then adjust deck height by shaving; /html/vintage-race/2001-03/msg00114.html (7,405 bytes)

The shoes should be 10" x 2 1/4". Anything else I can think of (Riley, Austin) would be 9 x 2 or 2.5; /html/vintage-race/2001-03/msg00146.html (7,133 bytes)
