call tim meyer or??

Look into some cleveland forged pistons and have to bush the rod ends on small end for different piston pins! not a big deal just a few extra bucks. 100 shot not to big but to be careful go forged.few other way to do this but this is a good start.

These are definitely NOT going to be N2O friendly at ~11:1, but maybe you can contact the company and see if you can get some made for your application.

Here is their website:

RaceTec & AutoTec Pistons specializes in custom pistons for Sprint Cars, Dirt Modified & Dirt

If you Google AutoTec pistons you will get lots of google hits and it looks like the company's pistons are sold retail. Unfortunately, I don't have a price on mine separately nor do I know if they have an off the shelf version for the 351M/400. I got mine in a stroker kit from Tim Meyer for a custom sized bore, but wanted to put the company name out there for you in case you could use it to find what you need.
