I'm wondering if you will have to use custom pistons or something from a different engine. I'm assuming you already have a 73mm cylinder?

I have a set of RC 73mm cylinders and a 3mm stroker crank I may have found some pistons but just in case.

I might be interested in the block. What condition is it in and can you  email pics to me; nextplain@aol.com?? I'm thinking about another SOHC project in the near future.
