if you have stock internals... you shouldn't need the over-sized ones. logic, makes sense?

Measure the size of the existing pistons. That is the right kit if you can figure out which pistons you need. You could always just go ahead and get the 75.5mm pistons and then have the block bored out even if they are 75mm pistons.
