I think the L2298 pistons came out in 1970. I bought mine in 1980.
 As for cranks Mickey Thompson had cast stroker cranks fr FE's in the mid 60's if not earlier. Not sure if anyone did before that but maybe.

1972 or 73, we built a 454 with the off the shelf TRW pistons,  medium riser, Tunnelwedge, top loader for a Talladega.  Car was scary fast in high gear.

      I think it's fair to say that cars of that time where often just scary when going fast in high gear!

   The Ford "X" Garage had a couple of them from Ford's Experimental Engine dept in '67 for testing. One was installed in a Fairlane to beat Tasca's KR8 '67 Mustang. The late Bill Holbrook (rip) related that to me years ago. Bill was in charge of the "X" garage "in the day".
