They'll work but its not an ideal configuration for various reasons. B6T pistons can be found at reasonable prices if you're seeking a grassroots approach.

Where can one find B6T pistons at, can't seem to find them normally looking on my internet searches.
Thanks for the info

Fixed. If you can find them reasonably, please share. I will willingly give up my firstborn.

I've seen sets go on eBay (used of course) for under $100.

I have a set in the basement with the later weaker B6T rods (as found in the Mercury Capri) that I've listed in various places for $75. I still haven't sold them. *hint* ;)
