KB 142 pistons

hey guys i need your help, my friend just gave me a set of KB pistons that he was going to use on his 350 but sold them to me for $40 bucks brand new!! (he's going with a 454). Anyways on the side of the box it says KB 142+.040 and he said they were dished top pistons. Now i wanted to know what the "cc" for the pistons were. I heard -18cc, -15.5cc and some others. Now what is the right cc for these pistons?? i appreciate the info and i'll keep you posted if i hear anything, thanks...
