The Kanter proposal that I put forth several years back that failed to find enough support was for pistons made to exact OEM specifications.

As to the Egge pistons, they may not be what the higher performance crowd wants or even what the rest of us would like to buy, but they are in regular use in many V8 Packards and have proven adequate for normal car driving and touring.

The few problems I've heard of re cast slug pistons are second-hand and apparently the result of folks using Packard's original skirt clearance specs rather than those advised by Egge or the piston maker.
