Ok. The compression would be fine (down from 9.5:1 to around 8.2:1) with a 8v head but the valve pockets would need some work.

But the spec sheet for the new engine is starting to take place. Looks like it will be a 3.15l

That would best be done when installed in a block with a temporary mounted 8v head. So that would have to be done by the buyer of these pistons.

I've got a 2.7 engine and S2 crank, pistons and rods are the next big expense. Think I'll wait a while
