I wonder if the crank will have to be rebalanced. Does anyone know what a standard k301 piston, ring and pin weight? I see the forged m12 piston has a slipper skirt and narrower pin, I wonder if that weights close enough to not have to rebalance the crank. If I have to rebalance I suspect a sleeve would be cheaper. Does anyone know if there is a business/person in the Kansas City area that I might be able to get a block and/or rod from? Thanks for any input.

Does your block have "K301" cast into the side? If so, there is enough meat to bore to 12 hp specs
