venolia will make pistons for this, as well as ross, however if you are an inliners member Ross will give you a 10% discount. Also the rod journals are narrower than the 216, you have to use 54 up rods, but at some point after 54 (I'm not sure what year) there was an extra boss on the rods that make them so they won't clear the camshaft. Even at that you have to use a 235 camshaft which will have reliefs (flat spots) between some of the lobes to get the rods to clear the cam. I had to regrind the lobes and grind the journals to fit in the small bore of the 216, but then I had a custom grind from Howard cams, stock pre 54 235 cams should fit fine.just look for the relieved areas
