I currently have a 13.1 496 combo that is internal balanced with mallory metal added to the Eagle crank. I am using SRP 13.1 pistons and would like to swap to a 10.5 to 1 pistons to use pump gas, I am detuning my bracket motor. Is this possible without a rebalance job? :confused: Any advice appreciated

As long as the piston and pin weigh the same then you are fine. Not much chance of that, with different dome size and probable different alloys.
