The later 71 and later low compression engines don’t usually have issues with ring lands, and may be better candidates for std replacement pistons.. I had a complete set I gave to someone that needed a set of rods. I think I have another STD set somewhere.
That's very kind of you. Thank you. For the time being I'm going to hold off and think this through. I had similar thoughts to your suggestion. I'm trying to remember what happened to the set of standard size pistons I had from my last engine. It's so long ago, I can't remember if I tossed them out or kept them.
