L-71 Closed-Chamber Piston

[John H.]

David Kimble (the renowned cutaway drawing artist) called me today and asked if I had a photo of an original L-71 closed-chamber piston; he's doing an L-71 cutaway, and wants to show the correct original piston crown shape, but doesn't have a reference to work from. If anyone has one he can use, would you please e-mail it to me at Snake488@aol.com? Thanks!

i just checked my copy of "how to hot rod big block chevys" and there are several pictures of GM pistons used in BB. the pictures show the difference between GM and TRW ones. maybe this would help. i can scan them if you like
