That is an UNFINISHED , semi custom piston
BBC
4.311 bore
49 cc dome (.700)
notches on exhaust +.090 intake +.250

Pin hole is not finished to .990 so compression height is not available.

Can't use as is

Hope this helps

Give that man a cigar!! 2, a whole damn box!!

pistons have been ran before and have been shaved on so i'll take it as they've been finished but are in good shape now all i have to do is find out where they sell rocket fuel for that big ass dome!!

Thank you tuffguy !!!!!!!!

No problem.
If they have been run before, assuming they use a .990 pin, and the oil ring land isnt in the pin hole (requiring oil rail supports) they would be 1.648 comp. height, 4.00 stroke for a 6.135 rod
Compression ratio would be 14.7 w/ 109 cc head, 13.1 w/ 118 cc head and 12.3 w/ 124 cc head.

As for the Rocket Fuel, try 1-800-FLY-NASA LOL

first big block i've ever built- have built small block chevy,ford,and dodge but got this one priced nice -

but like anything you get what ya pay for and so far i've found and fixed these mistakes: 6 rods of one set and 2 of another (one of them being bent), plugs missing in oil passages for lifters(right above the front cam bearing location) four corner cooling passeges plugged w/ goo oil pump pickup screen welded on crooked, the person who put this motor together is supposed to be a credited engine builder! i think it was amatuer night at the busted knuckle garage

[BBC Malibu]

oops, forgot the other crap, one rocker nut thats not really a rocker nut (noticably different) old rods had different bolts in them some stock some morrosso, and one had arp on one side and some off brand (can't remember),
the two rods that were different didn't have holes drilled and chamfered (set up for floating)intake gasket was siloconed all the way around everything and ozzing out the side, same on oil pan

all of this crap wrong and this moter was supposed to be FRESH.
Is that some funny shit or what?
