Ken...just wondering what piston was used on the 71-72 402 motors??
These had oval port open chamber heads(iron)...I would imagine that the pistons are different for oval vs. rect. port heads...maybe I'm mixing things up?? Perhaps pistons can be made to work in a 396 application that match the 074 head...but, they would need to be custom.
