429 thunderjet pistons

I am looking for 2 standard  429 thunderjet pistons. These are the flattops with the two valve reliefs. I bought a set the other day with the c8 rods, but two are not usable. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dissembled a 429 short block that had the flat top pistons with 2 valve reliefs; I pressed all 8 pistons off all 8 rods; I visually inspected all 8 pistons and tossed 3 of them for their wear/cosmetic appearance; the remaining 5 pistons I lightly buffed the top ring land area with scotchbrite and from those remaining 5 pistons I picked the best 3 pistons.

Those 3 best pistons are packaged in a USPS Priority Mail box and ready to ship (you will get your needed 2 plus 1 spare).  Your price for tear down labor, piston/rod disassembly, visual inspection, the 3 best pistons, and USPS Priority Mail shipping is just $50, or $75 to Canada.  Please call me directly via the High Flow Dynamics website.
