Nath, AFAIK there of a differnt compression ratio so wont be suitable, they are also graded A and B for sizing and from what i can rememeber from rebuiling my 96 car there handed left and right too. Best bet would be to post in the wanted section as i'm sure there's a few garages with them in knocking about. one other thing to consider would be why the piston failed in the first place, bad fuelling, over boost, both of which can cause det and high cylinder temps, condition of the oil is also a factor to be considered. Hope that helps mate. Cheers Neil.

You need the correct piston, is it the 'dog bone' type?
