I've read that they need at least 7mm taken off them.
I looked at the Chrysler 3.3 pistons and they were my next choice after the 3.7/4.7 Chrysler pistons. They would require bushing the rod small end to fit the smaller gudgeon. Plus they are 0.020" taller in height so less to remove from deck.
It depends on what compression ratio you want to run. I'll measure the crown thickness of the 3.7/4.7 piston and let you know. I just looked on Ebay and the 4.7 pistons are $119US for a set of 8 including rings, gudgeons and circlips.
The crank needs counterweights machining down, I think it is about 0.500", can't remember exactly as it was done quite some time ago. Also the nose needs machining to take the 2.8 gear.
You may find my thread over at CapriPower forum worth a read in regards to fixing the fuel curve on the K-Jet also has my dyno chart in it http://www.capripower.co.uk/forum/in...-curve-solved/
