Hi Sam, Is that the original engine?
Where was the VIN# stamped on your engine, was it stamped on the front of the
engine or on the back by the oil filter. The 3969974 is the Original STD bore piston
for a 70/L78. The PN should be stamped on the top of the dome on the piston. The
block and head casting dates are usually within a few weeks of one another.
BTW, That’s a "Real Nice" car you have there.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the compliment! I'm really happy with it.
The VIN is stamped on the pad in front of the passenger head, no detectable VIN by the oil filter. This is a Norwood car, here's a picture of the stamp



Thanks for the info on the pistons, it's good to know that the engine is standard bore!
