Not for stock stroke with that CH (1.115), those pistons are likely for 4.00 stroke and 6.125 rod length, 408-410 etc.

They can work, as long as you get proper length rod. You could go with 6.250 rod and you will end up with 0.064" quench if shave the block then another 0.024" you had it all set up.

I guess I would be cheaper to get other pistons unless you get them for free.

6.30" rods would probably work better and not have to cut as much off the deck.

1.115" + 1.811" + 6.30" = 9.226" Deck Height

what stroke crank will you be running?

also may want to look at the valve reliefs and see what heads they were made to work with
