Those are pistons out of your motor? Are they going back in?

Any other markings? Flat, dome or dish? Compression height?

L2245 comes up as a 428 piston. Check that bore!!!

332-428 Ford FE Engine Forum: TRW L 2245 Forged Pistons

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...e-pistons.html

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/2...endations.html

4.13 vs 4.05 bore. A little over 4 or a little over 4 1/8th via the tape measure method....

you have a 390 bored .060 over, 428 std bore is 4.135. I've seen so much false info about the 390 that it's mind boggling. The only way to tell what you have is to dismantle it and check numbers. most of the tags that were attached to the original carb stud have been lost & thrown away. no exceptions.
