400 flat tops

I've looked all over jegs and summit and i cant find a set of standard bore flat tops for a 400, i didnt even see a stock piston for a standard bore. Is there anywhwere i can get a good speed pro or kb or other good brand forged flat top piston that will fit right in without bushings or anything to get me to about 9.5 to 1 compression in standard bore?

You never use std bore pistons unless you have a virgin block.

I can get you the Badger flat top pistons in a standard bore if you like. I have 1 set of the Hypereutectic flat top pistons left that are standard bore. These are pistons that have a "Zero" deck height. 3rd option is we have forged pistons coming any day now. They are a zero deck height piston and a flat top. Only down side is they require bushing the rods, and they will start at .020" O/S

The following link shows the forged stroker piston, the ones coming will look identical.

The Badger and the Hyper pistons do not require bushings at all. The Badgers sit down in the hole about .080" They hypers, have a zero deck height, at least anothe 1/2 point of compression.
