Default What piston is this

Working with an iron block 6.0 and can't identify what piston this is to get a single replacement. Know nothing about where the block came from, was an LSx swap into an Olds Cutlas, dropped a valve and customer opted to go plug and play LS3. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

looks to be a factory hyper piece...1.5/2.0/3.0 ring pack is LQ9 stuff
1.2/1.5/2.5 would be LS2....appears to have had those valve notches cut into
by a modder with a giant cam and a Lindy Tool....
The dropped valve being the missed shift/kissed piston dilemma that tends to
remove the saucer part of the valve from the stem....
Just realized you said iron block...LQ

ahh awesome! Thanks for that, the lindy tool makes perfect sense. I'm still very much new to the LS world and the in's and out's of modding them to that extent.
