Re: 1965 black Continental convertible newbie here
Pop them both out and reseal them ! Its going to be less headache that putting an engine in that wasn't designed to go in there. Not to mention less money. Does it scensored. Yes.

Re: Possible new source for 410 430 462 pistons?
Carmarket pro is a bunch of morons. I asked them a question about specific details on the "pistons" they offered for 430's. They said let me check with my supplier. Never got back to me because it is the wrong casting junk. Don't waste your time. Unfortunetly we are all in love with a obsolete rare ...
