The rod definitely looks stock. As for the piston I’m not completely sure, it honestly looks like the side on the bottom is way thinner than the top side. It doesn’t look stock though
I think those skirts look awfully thick. Heavier pistons than I'm used to seeing.

The Piston on the left is from a 426 Hemi. The one on the right is from a Mack. The Piston the ring came from, well,... you could just see over it if it was sitting on it's skirt.

567, 645 or 710?

And no, I can't tell by looking.

You should post those in the Cool stuff on your job thread.
