Can anyone tell me what the size of the standard size piston is for the 1947 cast iron block engine?

The cylinder bore is 2.500, the piston is approximately 2.496 or
2.497, at this moment, I neither recall nor have a reference.

Were there any cast iron blocks in '47?

Ciba retrofits for leaking Cobras. I believe pistons were the same size though.

No, those were the COBRA (tin) blocks. Same bore though, although some of those used shorter, 3 ring pistons.

This is the engine I have in my 1947 Sedan. This is not the tin engine correct? I need a upper compression piston ring and an exhaust valve just to get it going again.

Not a tin block (COBRA), but it is a cast block (CIBA). The rings and the valves remain the same.

That is a cast iron block, not a tin. I like your car cover!
