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.
