It would be easier to tell more about the piston if the picture showed more of it. The shape of the top of the piston is unique for many engines and may provide a hint.

Based only on the steel expansion strut cast into the piston I'd say it's from a Shovelhead. But that's a guess only with limited information to go on.

$38 Canadian for a set of pistons with rings on ebay, they're everywhere for that kind of money.
