Its an odd request I know but does anyone have a pic of an original 1968 factory 455 piston. Most importantly the dish area.
Thanks in advance.
Pete

1968 Toronado 455


1968 98 455




All of the above show high compression pistons with the "V" notch. Hope these help.

Are the low compression piston dishes also round, just deeper?
