I just talked to Mike Knowles at DIAMOND. It sounds like we are good to go for a new set of custom made pistons :-)

.... I'm confused about your rod length though, the ones I had were 7.061" for the std stroke, and I know they made a 6.96
and a 7.176" which I think were for the 404 and 394 destrokers. I had a Petty 394 back in the 70's and it had 7.350" Carrillo's with a 3.480" stroke Moldex and Fordgetrue pistons so I don't know if the Petty's didn't like what the factory came up with and just came up with their own or if the factory just outsourced since a lot of the combinations were one/offs anyway as it seemed Nascar kept downsizing the restrictors on a monthly basis depending on how may races the Mopars won. Wow, sorry for the run on sentences, but I'm too tired to go back and fix it... 
We measured the rods with more precision and they are of 7.061" length indeed.

I assume you would want Lemans float bowls. I had a
Superbird with a Hemi engine and a NASCAR air cleaner and only Lemans float bowls would fit. There was more than one NASCAR air cleaner for a HEMI. I have a spare filter element for one of them that I don't need.

rick, are you referring to the filter element that slides into the cowl area? If so could you post pics and dimensions?
Scott, any ida what an nos nascar dominator would be worth?
When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

CP did the reverse engineering to fit modern type rings, 1.09" tool steel pins and the right dome and valve pockets for 11:1 compression ratio
