Just bought a box of xs parts, and found some 79mm barrels and 1 omega 79mm piston, has anybody heard of these or pistons this size? The piston fits the 256 rods,
I don't know about the Omega piston. I think Hoos Racing has 750 cc pistons that fit the 256 rods. You could use those cylinders on the 447 engine. Mike's has 81 mm pistons, 1 overs for the 750 kits.

Yes it was, there was some decent stuff in there, set of crank cases with the starter hole welded over, and a nice ported head with the chamber flowed as well.
Check with Hoos racing, they do the 750 kits for the 256 engines they might have the right size pistons. I think I might use the 447 crank. The 256 rods tend to be a bit weaker on the small ends.
Talk to Hoos.
