I have a set in my 421 with 4.16" bore, so far so good.
Set up properly the KB Hypereutectic pistons work well. They run quiet, help the rings do their job due to the tight running clearance and keep heat in the combustion area..... Their down fall is they're detention intolerant and when they break you have catastrophic results.
