A 4.15 4032 piston will live well on a straight bore with .0035 clearance.  As long as you know what your piston is, should be good.  If it's a 2618 piston, it's a little tight. 

Can't really compare to the old piston, old forged pistons grew like crazy with heat, 4032 does not. As long as you can prove to yourself you have 4032, go for it

They are the SRP pistons with the -22CC inverted dome. ( as they call them) They are beautifully made compared to the C8AX factory 428 pistons.

I am sure they are, but don't deduce, like Spatial D, trust your instruments....trust your documentation, check to make sure they are 4032.  I am sure they are, but putting eyeballs on the spec sheet is a good way to be sure

They are 4032. The clearances call for .0035.
