HI,
I've been told that 283 pistons can be used in my (Aussie) chrysler 265 hemi 6, but that the block need to be decked extensively. I'll be fitting either a 4/71, or a big hairdryer, so lower compression would be a bonus. I realise that having a low deck height isn't ideal, with regards to squish and swirl. But I gotta lower the CR as cheaply as possible.
Anyway, what is the bore size of a 283, and what is the pin height?
Also are forgies readliy available for them?

Thanks,
Bart.
