Mopar or no Car!
Tore down my 318 engine and need help identifying the pistons. I assume since they are Chrysler pistons these might be standard bore still? Here is a picture of the part number.
I figured this as well when I cleand the top off one of them I saw no markings just wanted to be sure they were stock by part number. ThanksOversized pistons are generally stamped on the head with their specs. You can also use a micrometer, caliper, or dial indicator to check the size of the piston and bore.
This engine came out of my 73 valiant, cast year on the block is 74 so it was replaced at one time. Prev owner said it was rebuild and shows signs like it was but I am freshening it up anyway since you never know how good of a job someone does when they say its been "rebuilt".By the number, I'd say mid 70's

TIn my experience, you want to go through it yourself. Not many are really good at rebuilding engines and cheap out buying parts for the short term.
