Time you get that crank and pistons you can get custom pistons for about same the crank would cost.that be a stupid way to go as well.

True, if you don't want the extra 40+ cubic inches and 50 lb-ft of torque. Why get 478 CID instead of 431? Spend $1200 on a set of Diamonds instead. Your engine and money. Do WTFYW.

Arent they a 075 over pistons? Only +.005" on my standard bore 440 block. I think it can be honed out to fit the pistons. Not sure which CP pistons they are. Al said there were no numbers stamped in the tops, like M14, etc. New stocker rings will cost a lot more than the pistons.

Couldnt they be machined to a .990 wirst pin size? Not much from a .984 then l could get reducer bushings or rods for the .990 size

Have found some 426 wedge pistons old school mickey pistons ones brand new but they take a .984 wirst pin, which is the small block wirst pin size, what kind of pin or bushing to make them work with a big block stock rods? Try calling both Jahns, if they are still in business and or Ross pistons and see if they will remachine the wrist pin hole in those old M/T pistons for you. Mickey Thompson always had vendors make his parts, he didn't own the company that made them for him, Maybe even try Crower on fixing them for you
