REALSSCHEVELLE,
All 454/365hp motors all came with flat-top pistons, not dished pistons as you have been advised. 454/390 hp pistons will actually have a small dome. Best of luck with your sale.

So, in lieu of bonafide testing results that it is a 390 HP engine the engine is probably a 454/365.

I have been told all kinds of things From folks who are in the motor rebuild buisness Like the ad says do your homework. I am not 100% sure if its a 365 horse like my book says or its a 390 horse like one of my engine builders says it is. Do your homework to make sure this is the part you need

Scott,
all ls-5 engines in 71 were 8.5:1 comprssion with flat top pistons.
ONLY exception was the ls-6. It was 9.0:1, 4 bolt main, rectangular aluminum heads.... and there were only a handful of these Vettes ordered.
