Ugh, hope that isn't the case with the pistons. I really appreciate all the info. As I read more into it, I may ship the entire engine up to my nephew and have him build me a 383 or 406 with a lower comp ratio, a lumpier cam, maybe some aluminum heads, etc. Something that's a little more modern under the surface but not new school. I don't need to have a rocket, but I do want something that holds it's own when I jump on it.
