Bought this motor for $45 to replace the one that i took out of my car.

I guess you can call it a bandaid until i can build one. anyway, i took the heads off and the pistons look nothing like i have seen on the 4 of 5 i have torn down.

Anybody know what these pistons are? hypereutic maybe?

I attached a pic of old motor vs new one. the new ones look like they are cut deeper

first ones look like stock forged out of the fox body H.O. motors, n the second not sure, but those valve reliefs look pretty big for a stock piston

yeah. the first ones are stock forged. i cant figure out wtf the other ones are.

Seeing that the block was painted orange... may be a 306 or something

the second ones look like cast sealed power, if you wire brush the tops, there should be a pn to look up.
