To the best of my knowledge the LT1 was a standard bore 11:1 high dome piston....these pics are from my 70 Z28 engine rebuild. Note part number stamped on the top of each piston...

FYI All of your pistons are in backwards. Im guessing including the Thrust side of the rods...

You are very observant Ken...this was the first time I ever tore an engine down and rebuilt one and when we reassembled we put the pistons in backwards....fortunately after we bolted one of the heads back on and tried to rotate the crank and the pistons were hitting the valves, we realized our mistake and took all the pistons out and rotated them all 180 degrees. Boy, you can't get anything past the knowledgeable people on this site :-)
