    i have new pistons for the 302 CH 1.600 i pull them off the shelf see what i have right now i just do not remember .if they were dish and i wanted flat tops with the 351 head i used or there 030 and i needed to go 040 on the 289. anyways i will give you a very good deal on them they do not cost much at the time and more to send back
