does this look original

took the intake off the 289 the other day and was amazed at how clean it was under there.
i thought fore a 1965 - 289 there is no way this could be stock it must have been rebuilt at one time.
does this look like a stock piston.
if so not bad fore 42 years old.










hope the pics work

Re: does this look original

heres a few more anyone know the cc of these pistons.










even the heads were realy clean no sludge any where.
and i could still see some crosshatch in the cylinders.
the ridge at the top seems to be very little.
now what can this little thing take

I think the valve reliefs would be a dead give away that those aren't stock pistons.
