I bought a 360 engine with high compression pistons with L2426 on them. Anyone know what compression ratio they might be? Thanks

These are TRW (now Speed Pro) high compression pistons with a pretty good dome on them. I tried to Google the number but found nothing. I was hoping someone on here might have a book with the number in it. They have to be 12.5 or 13-1 pistons. Just trying to find out what the advertised rating is.

My original 360 build was with a highly massaged set of those. Trimmed the dome and milled the underside of the dome to the tune of 30 or so grams. Overall, between pistons and rods I took 800 grams out of the rotating assembly. After I blew that up, my new KB forged 12.5's with Eagle h-beam rods were an additional 37 grams lighter per hole. I'm pretty sure that old TRW piston can't be used without a lot of checking and massaging of the dome.

This was a running dirt track engine. It was built by a chevy engine builder that left a wrist pin lock out, the pin rubbed the wall putting a nice gouge in it. One dead cylinder pumping lots of smoke.
