Actually, the SOHC piston is a pretty complicated casting.

from some current ebay auctions:

And the cam's grind is so unique, that I believe there is currently only 1 company that has the equipment to do it nowadays. It's not about journals.

Don't forget about the special intake and exhaust manifolds...

If that piston/ rod is being sold as a SOHC set, I think the seller is ill informed. That appears to be a Rod and Piston from a Boss 429. Completely different. The single piston lookslike one, but the set is definetly Boss 429. Look at the 2 pistons and you can see that the upper one has the valve reliefs perpedicular to the pin line. the Boss piston has the valve reliefs "rotated" off the center line..
