I wouldn't say that some people will sell anything just to get the dollar, but it would be one big mistake to put them in a blown alcohol motor. I've got 7 of them setting on my shelf in the shop that came out of my 358, 1471 blown alcohol sm/blk, the 8th one melted right down to the top ring groove about a 1/2" wide blowing out 3 qts. of oil and spinning a rod bearing, it happened all in 1 pass and there was less than 10 passes on the motor.
Best to go the extra bucks and buy blower or nitrous pistons, the top ring groove is down 7/16" from the top of the pistons on them.
