I would call Ross. They can fix you up. I would estimate $900 w/pins.
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

I'm starting the process of building a new 383 for the roadster. Since it doesn't look like anyone makes forged dome pistons for a 4.28 or 4.31 bore with a 1.32 compression height it looks like I may need to order a set of custom pistons. I basically need the Ross 99499 in a 4.28 bore.
What's everyone's favorite source and what kind of price can I expect?
RaceTec. If they make it from one of their AutoTec forgings less than $700. I was recently quoted $685 directly from them for a 4.28 replacement for the old TRW 2293 heavy dome piston with 22cc dome only in a 1.53CH. If a member here is a dealer you may find better pricing. Their AutoTec shelf offerings are nice for the money.

You do realize that you don't have to do anything in equal increments right. What I mean is.....if you have to order a custom piston anyway, bore it enough to straighten the bore, whatever that number is and order a piston made to fit that bore. No need to go exactly .030 or .060, unless you just want it that big.
Personally, I use nothing but Diamond or Venolia

I think Diamond has a shelf piston for that combo.
I would talk to Diamond.. they should have a shelf piston and if you want to move the CH from stock then its a $35 charge.. they allow 2 changes to a shelf piston.. anything more and its called a custom piston.. my last set from them I changed the CH and added a 22cc dish so I could have a good quench and the compression I wanted (pump gas stuff)... they had them for me to pick up in 4 days

They dont. They have a flat top but no dome listed. I doubt putting a shelf dome configuration on a shelf flat is a $35 change because it would require a bigger blank. Worth checking though.
