Piston Numbers???
 

I can't find anyone to help me one the phone so I thought I would ask all U smart guys. I just picked up a 302 from a guy around the corner for 100 bucks. It is a complete motor with what he was a very recent rebuild. For a hundred bucks who could same no. Well apart it came just to find out what it had in it. HOLY **** !!! It was JUST rebuilt and it was a 289 with 302 heads. Completely balanced even!! Now my problem is the pistons, they have a very big dome (big cam too) and I don't want to run a huge compression ratio. HOW BIG IS IT???? They are TRW pistons with the # 7061P.030 . 30 over I know but they look real big and don't want to have to run race gas all the time. Thanx for any help!!
