Piston choices????
Ok guys, Yes it seems to be beat to death, but there is still no difinitive answer as to what pistons are out there other than custom ross units. Does a true flattop piston exist or is the closest one from a 351 with a smaller wrist pin diameter? My 95 is about to go under the wrench for rings and I would really like to bump the compression up to about 9:1-9.5:1 while I am at it. From what I have researched so far, there is a flattop available only the compression height is not correct. What is the exact cc volume of the chamber? I am thinking total seal gapless rings on whatever piston I can come up with. Any info would be great other than the usual "do a search". I figure someone out there has been down this road before.

Ok, so far what I found was a piston from a 351w with an early 300 rod with a .912 wrist pin should work. The compression height and the bore is the same only the wrist pin is smaller. I still need to check on the early rod specs. This combo should work. I am going to check with an engine builder. I will keep all interested parties posted.
