Yes you can run flat top WC or WD 4.125" replacement pistons with your combination. I'm running a similar combination but elected to go with 4.125" 170/175 crater pistons. We also used a WD45 block. This combo works out to be right at 240 cid and around 8.25:1 compression, and is good for about 58 hp at 2000 rpm. Depending which flat top pistons you use your compression ratio should be a little higher than ours. Kip

isn't it the 175 gas cam that's hard to find? or are they the same? ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

| A 170 cam isn't any different grind than a D-17 or "E" Gleaner or WD45 or WC for that matter. The "175" camshaft is the special high lift grind. |
