I have a set of 8 Manley ceramic coated pistons pulled from a Boss 5.0 block stroked to 5.3L. They're 4-valve/2-valve pistons and notched accordingly, but if you or someone you know has the skill, the pistons could get a valve relief "fly cut" to make the 3-valve compatible as well.
The original builder had a cam failure while idling, so there was some valve/piston contact on two pistons. Please see the pics for better detail. The two pistons are still safe to use per a reputable local mechanic.
Here's the link to Manley's website for some specs:

I believe the pistons are an 18cc dish, and definitely 3.720" bore, 3.750" stroke and use 5.850" rods. Since the pistons were custom made, there's no actual part number, but I believe they're 595270C-8 with an 0.020" overbore.
Coated pistons from Manley are easily $1K but I'm only looking for $500 plus s/h. Please send me a PM if you're interested! If you can't see the images, let me know. Posting this add has been "screwy".
Thanks,
Scott T.
