Hi James,
I missed the beginning of this thread, but from what you've said before I
guess you're looking for low compression pistons to put that 1300 head onto
a 1500 bottom end. If you draw a blank elsewhere, I have a wholesale
supplier who lists pistons as "USA Federal Spec Spitfire 1500 - compression
ratio 7.5:1". Not sure if this is what you want, but I will check
availability.
Cheers,
Bill.
