I would appreciate any recommendations on what stock-type 30-over pistons I should get and also who has the best price on them. Thanks.

There are dealers who are board members. The L2355F is a hammer, it weighs way too much and actually slows the car down. You should be able to save nearly 200grams per piston/pin, which is about 7 ounces. In reciprocating weight, that's a lot. R.

If it is a performance rebuild then I'd ditch the super heavy Mopar parts and use lighter weight rods and pistons. Then you can internally balance the engine and get rid of the special damper and flywheel. But all of that will cost you money so you just have to make the decision for yourself.
