It has to be a GM piece, not a repro? I see lots of repros for sale.

 Yup...not sure on year? Before that was a draft tube. You can plug it with a frost plug if running off the valve cover.

Neat. Never knew that. My 62 Comet had the draft tube at the engines front.

All my vintage intakes, the oil fill tube leaned to drivers side. Road draft tube disappeared in 63 with a connection to the carb base and pcv.

Sorry, no dome Kevin. Keeping it mild. Just 2 valve reliefs instead of 4 for a +5 piston head volume.

Should still give me 9.4:1, @ .023 in the hole, .028 gasket, 64 cc chamber. It's amazing how cheap these standard bore Hypereutectic pistons have become...

How much in the hole are you Carl?..I mean the piston lol! Looks pretty flat.
