That's why I modify these old stovebolt engines to use newer parts such as connecting rods, pistons, bearings, cylinder sleeves, valves, etc. from Nissan, Toyota, Buick, Opel, Ford, and late model Chevy V8s. An engine doesn't know, or care what the original application of a specific part was- - - -all it has to do is fit and work "as designed".
