9.8-10 393w stroker piston wanted

I am building a 393 stroker with the stock length rod. After lots of searching for a FORGED piston, all I can find are either very high compression or less than 9.0 using 60cc heads and a .038 head gasket.

So far, the closest I have come to my desired 10.0 compression is a Probe Industries - P2305F (with a 1.640 compression height) which puts me in the 10.4 range. Although I could probably make this work with some porting on my AFR's or by using a thicker head gasket, I would prefer a more suitable piston.

Does anyone know of an off the shelf piston that meets my needs?

A quick call to Probe industries solved my problem. In their SRS series, they have an off-the-shelf lightweight forged 302 piston with a 15cc dish, Model 10684. This equals out to 10cr with a .010 deck height and a 61cc head. Price, $531 delivered to the east coast, although I did find them a little cheaper on line.

I have since received these pistons and I want to point out that they have nice deep(and wide) valve pockets that shouldn't need much/any clearancing using large valves. They also have been notched slightly for trick flow "twisted" valve heads. They should work great in a pump gas 393w with aluminum heads. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
