I have swapped out my 7.5:1 (pathetic) pistons in my '79, for the flat top
pistons that are rated at 9.0:1 (?). The machine shop mechanic said there
was Plenty of room for the bigger pistons. Don't know how it runs, since
I've still got the motor out of the car. Waiting for funds to build up so I
can paint the frame/chassis/body, etc.

Subject: Speaking of pistons ..
Who amongst us has done the swap-out of the 7.5:1 dished Spit 1500
pistons for the *76 vintage flat-tops? I*m thinking of this procedure for
my Spitfire buddy (who is somewhat modified); I*ll think about it some more
if someone tells me it is worth the effort ...
