Since it hasn't been run maybe you can replace them with some true flat tops.

I'm picking it up next weekend. The car and the all the parts are stored in 3 different locations .
My thoughts too about the pistons. Get the compression back to where it should be. The mechanic told me that the motor had signs of detonation when he pulled it apart so he lowered the compression. I always thought with the proper cam and timing, the motor should run fine at a 10:1 compression when using 93 octane. My original motor 70 Z28 runs fine with it's 11:1 compression ratio.
