Location: Manitoba, Canada		Hello I just bought a 1956 354 Hemi. Block # is VT549-1972C. I got it seized 2 days ago. I started taking it apart and notice that there was no piston size only numbers. I got on google and tried looking for numbers and couldn't find any.

Piston # is 1828970 X

I am wondering if this engine has ever been rebuilt

Thanks

Location: NorCal		Oversize numbers are usually stamped in the top of the piston, you may have to scrape away built-up carbon to see them. If no number is found, it's not likely "rebuilt" but may have been overhauled reusing the original pistons.
