Mr. MacKay, many thanks to You and JT for Your replys. Bearin' in mind I want to use the 3 1/4" pistons. Why? Because I have them. Lookin' thru the parts on Y T I don't see any sleeves will fit My 251069 and that will let Me use these pistons. Thought had crossed My mine to turn My sleeves down, bottom would be alful thin. Plus yesterday was a day I just felt like would be a good day to go to school. Now by the time I buy a sleeve and piston kit for a smaller bore ( that I'm sure would work perfect, 3'' bore plowed anything I needed plowed ) I'm out $293.04 plus s& h. with all due respect Sirs, If a machine shop can get $600 to bore out and grove 4 holes I need to load up and move where Yaw'll live. I guess I grew up in a different world from most folks, If We didn't have it, We tried to make it. In the 50s, first car I bought was a Model A sedan, few months later still too Young for a drivers license, I got a 37 ford coupe, built a 3 jug manifold for it, learned about progressive linkage right off the bat. Replaced the little 60 engine with a Lincoln/Mercury A/B engine, three jugs, shaved head ,3/4 grind cam and ruled the North La' roads till Chevy Hit with their 283 with a 4 barrel.( sorry , I don't know how I went from Farmalls to Fords.)Guess life is all about schoolin'
JT, Rest assured if I 've got anything to do with it the job won't be cobbled. The only time I've ever doubted my macheinein' abilites is when I walk By My scrap pile. I might come across as a fool to some people, been a few times I've been sure I was one, But just a little background, I was one of the first in this country buildin' damascus knives, I invented the 30 Wild Bill ( 30/06 case, neck shortened, Shoulder 35 degrees ) and I can run with the 300 Win mag and use 6 grs. less powder and less recoil. Best yet might be neckin' the 9x23 to .224 and gettin' 2500fps from a 5" barrel 1911. Yaw'll can find Me on Pistolsmith.com...See Wild Bill Caldwell Veiw From The Hills...some of My other cartridges on there...41 Sam ..44 LiZ
Again, Thank You for Your Replys, Mr MacKay, I knew if there was any other differences in the block You would know. I'm headin' out to the machine shop now, We'll see what the man says, Who knows, Might not be as high as You predict and there might be others wantin' to try this. " LIFE IS ALL ABOUT SCHOOLIN'

Thanks'
Wild Bill
