Default CAN ANYONE HELP IDENTIFY THESE HIGH PERFORMANCE PIECES?

Bought an old Vega race car. The previous owner couldn't tell me much about the engine other than it's a 355 w/roller cam. I tore it most of the way down last night and I 'm trying to I.D. some of the markings on the parts I found. Even if you don't know any specs on these, just the manfacturers name would be helpful. Here goes: Torque Converter-P8731 AFCXLS (it's about 9 in.out of turbo 400). Pistons-H617P (.030) Cam- 119526 8H1B The rockers are crane. Some are stamped 411D and some are H790. Are these 1.5 or 1.6 ratio? I looked through all the catalogs I have but I couldn't match any of these numbers up. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

Pistons-H617P (.030)
I think those pistons are probably Federal-Mogul hypereutectics. The reason I say this is because my old 415 used F/M H-615-P-30s.

That's about all I've got for you. Good luck.

Yes, Jack Sweet is correct. Those are Federal Mogul Hypereutecic Pistons. They have a .275 dome, and weigh 616 grams. With 58cc chambers the CR is 13.02 to 1. With 64cc chambers the CR is 11.93 to 1.

Crane should have their profiles listed on their website. Check it out.

I found out the cam is a Lunati piece. I'll get the specs from them. How about some help on the torque converter and the rockers? Thanks!
