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.

I have 3 leads on new old stock 426 wedge pistons.much cheaper then custom ones to. If your not payin to do that my block.keep your mouth shut then,ill do what i want to it. I came here to look for 426 WEDGE PISTONS.not oh use 383 pistons which will give it 8:1 compression.there so down in the hole on cylinder walls.i bore to a 440 if went that way &cheaper then using 383 pistons route.

I have a set of 8 TRW pistons for a 426 wedge. They are used with about 3,000 miles on them. The part number is 2185F and they are 030 over. These were in one of my motors back in the early seventies. One of the rods spun a bearing and I had the connecting rod removed so I could replace it. I ended up getting a great deal on a 440 Six Pack motor and put the pistons aside. They are in my storage and I'll look for them in the next few days. I do not remember what the compression ratio of these are.

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.

You can't make them work with those pins safely down
Maybe you can have the pistons converted, machined, for stock BB pins scope twocents

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

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 scope
