Re: What style piston is this?

with dish pistons and valve reliefs you can run almost any head and run pump gas... vortecs are a good choice for any street motor. make sure to get head gaskets that will allow for .035-.045 quench area. im running a set of 305 vortecs on my 355 with valve relief pistons on pump gas and its running fine... thats a 58cc set of heads not sure what the cr is just havent had time to test it since the build...
