No, they haven't been produced in many, many years. .030" are even hard to get. .060" + is about all you can get. I had to go .030" because I could not find any and customs were going to cost $1000+ and they are not the same. This was 4 years ago. Sure hated to bore a new ZL-1 block.

You can buy "stock replacements" from about any piston company...grab the approved piston # off of NHRA.com and it will be a blueprint copy of the factory piston, which means it will *actually meet* the advertised specs, unlike the factory slugs...novel idea, huh?!?
