Anyone know if the KB pistons that one would buy for a 1911 (stock 1.8L con rod) are different than what one would buy for a 2.0L con rod? Is the wrist pin height diff? Just wondering if I need to exchange the pistons I now have.

Also, what is the consensus on what cam and size of carbs?

Thanks.

Mark is right, the pin height is different to accommodate the different stroke. A pair of 40's is just right unless you're running high compression and huge cam and big valves. You will never be happy with carbs that are too big. Read the intended use descriptions of the cams on the manufacturers websites and listen to them while being honest with yourself about what you really are going to do with the car.
