agree with everyone regarding lower potential output, but since you
already have a hotrod racer and I assume this is for your B bike it
could be a real cheap way to get it going again.

can call Mary's old bike = 1 Branson. JohnnyB's old bike is (was) =1.5
Branson, Dale's = 3/4 Branson.

Those are hap jones pistons. They don't work well for the 175, the compression ratio is lower than stock. They sort of work for the 160, if you reshape the...
