I thought that too, till I built my American!
Two of the three I parted had 199's in them!

I tried to give them away and no one wanted them so off to the scrap heap they went!
I do have one set of stock 67-8 pistons here.
Still on rods, but I only wanted the pistons for spares and did not even think to save the caps.
I intended to play with one, use the flat tops in a 232 and install a 4.0L head and such.
Should have neted about 10:5-1 compression.
I can't remember if I intended to run it on lpg, or Ethanol or what I was exactly thinking at the time.
Now, I don't much think about building the small bore sizes.

The good thing about the 199 cars is they both had 3:31's in them. One even had a twingrip ready to go!
