Hi I asked a guy who knows a lot about x flow motor and his reply was

hi Brad, that piston is for a 6.27" 200 conrod.. the AU conrod is only 6.00" so it would not work unless a different piston is used...cheers

Cheers Brad

hi, it would work if you got the large dish pistons and shaved about 2.5mm off the top.. this should leave enough room to keep the first ring land strong enough in a 300-320hp combo.. it would also reduce the dish size from 28cc to about 14-16cc which would be great with a C2 head to give around 10.5:1 comp... cheers
