Working on a 70s 360, and upon putting it back together, the damper slid right over the snout of the crank by hand.

Hey guys, Playing with the idea of changing out the pistons in my 360 IF I can find a drop in that will work without rebalance. I have done some digging, and would prefer a forged piston if I am changing pistons, but I have only been able to find some info on some of the Mopar boards about...

Have this 360 torn down and have a few questions. Wondering if the pistons are stock, or stock replacements at .030 over. I ask because they all have the stamping "30" on them as pictured. I didnt get a chance to clean up the carbon in the cylinders, but managed to get a 4.02 reading on the one...
