Trying to identify this piston. It has 060 on it and an insignia of some sort. Wondering the dish cc and compression ratio. Thanks...

 

Well, the 060 means 60 thousandths overbore, but the picture is too small to get much else from it.

Yeah, even with my microscope, I can't see much.

The dish looks deep, though.

It might not hurt to tell us the displacement of the engine, and maybe any other information about who, how, and when it was built.

To figure the dish size, simply measure its diameter and depth and calculate volume
(you know, A = ∏Rsquared, V = A x Depth) [sorry, html [sup][/sup] doesn't work here]

It's a 350.
Deep dish, approx 8.00:1ish.

 

Okay Mark, what was the giveaway that it's a 350 and not a 400 or a 455?

All that from that little picture...damn you're good!

 

O.K., I'll fess up, I'm good but not that good.
We're working on a small block build for him. I won't steal his thunder, if he wants to tell you guys that's his call. But let's just say it's not something that hasn't been done before, but it'll still be pretty cool, using no custom parts, all off the shelf stuff.

 

Whew.

You had me scared there for a minute.

 

Does it really matter?
Low-compression cast SBO pistons are a dime a dozen. Used ones are good for paperweights and/or melting into heat riser fill

 

I'm glad I didn't submit what I was going to...uh hem. I figured there was an inside scoop lol! Tell the OP to post the build plan!

 

I figured they were the low compression pistons and that is why Mark is going to build me a 427 with a diesel block and a 455 crank with edelbrock heads rpm intake and a roller cam for my grocery getter vista with an m20 and 3.08:1 gearing. Whew that was a mouthfull! I'm really getting STOKED for this STROKER!!!

 

That is a mouthful. Sounds like an awesome build! I'm sure you'll keep us posted.
