LT1 piston question

Does the stock LT1 come with flat top pistons? Does anyone have pics of them?

They're flat tops with valve reliefs. Don't have a link for you but they're out there.

I just picked up my 383 from the machine shop, and I thought the pistons they put in were just dished with no reliefs. I just went out and looked at it, and found that they do indeed have reliefs. The plastic wrapping on the engine sort of camoflauged the pistons. I'm relieved now. I thought I was gonna have piston to valve clearance issues. Thanks for the link guys.
