They are likely Sterling part number H557P cast aluminum pistons meant for
a 302 running 2V Cleveland heads (yields 9.0:1 compression ratio with 76.2cc
open chamber heads) and 302 rods. They would have a small dome with canted
valve reliefs. I don't have the pin height handy but could back it out
from the rod length, stroke, and deck but I think you'll find it won't work
in a 351C with a stock length rod.

Dan, you are spot on, I found out that they are the H557P, and they are 1.5 mm lower than the cleveland pistons, (from pin to top of piston)
so i would lose all the compression that i would gain from the dome, so i decided to go with the TRWl2348 to get the 10.2 cr that I'm looking for.
Thanks for your reply
