A piston is a pretty complex part, diameter is easy, but wrist pin offset, distance from the top to the pin and dome height are all variables.
I know Mike has found or made pistons that will work in our 600's.
But, off the shelf parts are always a good thing.
Check into it, but I can't believe it will work.
But it would be nice to buy something off the shelf for these cars....just once!
