I'm curious if anyone has a preference or experience for one or the other of these apparently stock 36hp P/C kits sold by AA Performance products
I don't understand the gigantic price difference and the only obvious difference is compression height.
What would a bone stock 36hp bus engine best use?

| Looks like the 1st set listed is for Pistons and Cylinders. 2nd set is Pistons only? |

You are correct. The cheaper one is Pistons only. You can buy cylinders only as well. I always just do the full kit. If you are into an engine build to that point, might as well do it all. |
