I wonder if these are the right pistons.. The dome looks much higher than anything I remember. The old thunderbird pistons were flat and teh 8.5:1 had bit of a squish..

I supose you could assemble it and see what the actual compression ratio is without firing it up or installing the rockers... I would not try to start it unless you trust the valve clearance cutouts to be big enough ??
