What pistons to use?

This is my 351 rebuild.

1995 F4TE truck motor.
Bored as little as possible.
Stock stroke.
GT40 heads.
Stock cam w/1.7 Crane roller rockers.

What pistons would bring this motor up to about a 9 to 1 compression ratio?
Thanks in advance for any advise on the subject.

Stock pistons produce about 9:1 CR.

P.S. To be precise stock CR on a late model EFI motor is 8.8:1, if you use flattop pistons with valve eyebrows it should just cross the line to 9:1.
