Skip the Chevy pistons, not only is the valve angle wrong but the valves in a Chevy aren't on center with the cylinder like the SBM.
I've had Wiseco, Diamond, and Ross pistons in the past and all are high quality and you can get exactly what you want for just a little more money over a shelf stock. Well worth it in my opinion.

Last time I talked to Vic all their pistons were not all listed. A phone call next week would get you the needed info. Are you calculating your compression at deck height and with that compression are your going with cometic gaskets? They will make you what you need.

Looks like you have some playing room with that head gasket.

I talked to Diamond and for about $35 for the set they will move the pin height if needed and other things as well... I have chevy blanks in mine that the valve pockets are mopar and I had some dish put in to lower the compression a little... they will treat you well and they have been quick.... the last set I got took 3 days for my Rampage...but I also know the owner

I don't know why guys want to make this game harder than it already is but you should call Wisco and ask to talk to Vic Elinger. They have some beautiful on the shelf items for Mopars. Vic is a Mopar man himself. He is at PRI this week so call him next week and see what they have to offer. These are going in my build for next year.
This is the piston i plan to run with aluminum rods and a 65* comedic head gasket.Hope to run 6.30 ets with the sb 418 stroker.

Just so you know, it's about 40.00 dollars PER CHANGE to shelf stock and you're allowed UP TO TWO CHANGES. I’m a Distributor for Diamond, Let me know if I can help.
Dan,
Didn’t they used to give you 2 free changes?
So there’s a 2 limit change for stocking numbers now?
What if I want 3 or 4 total changes?
