Have 1939 221cu 3 1/16" . 80 thou oversized. Where to get good pistons and ring set for this engine. Also fitted with Edelbrock heads. Are there prefered pistons for these heads.
Max compression should only be 8:1 in view of the 80 Thou oversized?
Once set up would a little later ignition timing be prefered.

Appreciate all assistance.
