Deep dish as in for a hybrid and not for a TIII?

Looks like a stock 8 valve dished piston to me, with extra valve reliefs cut in, probably a Venolia from Cindy.

^ I agree. I have a 2.5L TIII shortblock here in my bedroom and it looks exactly like the Venolia pistons in it. I got them from gasketmaster who I'm pretty sure got them from FWDP.

My thoughts exactly. It's from that hybrid motor I got. Cindy was wanting to know If it was deep dish or not. It measures the same depth and width as a stock 2.5. Its a forged venolia.

Second picture. That black mark in the valve relief on the top left is a hole. It cracked right there. Bunches of blow by according to the previous owner. But thanks guys I'll tell cindy tomorrow it's just a stock dish.

Why not just measure it?
