Hey ADLM, I overhauled my Super-A, which had a 113 engine. I wondered the same thing. As I was told, the improvements in metallurgy, since the engine was built in 1949, allow for a thinner cylinder wall with no loss of integrity.
I bought my engine kit from this site, sleeves and pistons made by Tisco, and they slid into my block just sweet as can be.
I had my block hot-tanked and cleaned and oil passages brushed out and magna-fluxed by my machinist, so it was spotless. He did my head, and crank too. And with the new parts, it was all so pretty I had to take a couple of pictures.
There were pitfalls. My crank had a crack, (found by magna-fluxing), a head bolt was stripped, the one stud for the rocker-arm assembly that allows oil up to lube the rockers was stripped, I had a mis-matched piston, and the connecting rods had been swapped in their cylinders,- it was like an archeological expedition.
I took lots of pictures, and there's a huge wealth of info and knowledge here, so ask questions as you go along.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
