[quote=jahns is called je pistons now [/quote] I was not aware of that, thanks for sharing They were one of the few piston company I can remember from the early 1960 when I first got into hot rodding and drag racing. I'm sure there were others making them like SilvoLite, badger and so on. SRP is a sister company to JE for street use, they are on the same web site, I was told that years ago that the Calvert Bros, not John Calvert the drag racer, I don't think he is related to them, sold JE and had a 5 year no compete contract. They later bought out Carrillo Rods and started CP pistons after getting back into the hot rod market several years back Good luck on your deal

Ok how would you reduce the compression down on them? Like a 10:1 First you need to calculate what the ratio would be now. What is the deck height, chamber volume, bore and stoke. Then plug in the dome volume. Thick gasket may be enough or may need to whack the dome.

4-1/4 5/64,5/64,3/16 13.56:1 2.3765comp. That's what it's says the compression is for the L2185

I got those pistons from Al Corda. CP stock eliminator pistons. .043" top and second rings with spacers to fill up the 5/64ths ring groove (NHRA requires stock groove widths). 760g piston, 144g pin (about one inch shorter than the stock pins and maybe 50g lighter). They are flat tops but the forging has material for valve notches that could be added. 2.031" compression height. I think it would be around 10.8:1 at the NHRA specs for Stock. Larry Hill has some older stocker cams he ran, but he didn't think they would work with the flat top pistons. I think he is running the 440-6 combo in his Cuda. I have an interest in Stock Eliminator engines and cars. My 440 could be built into the 426-4 combo with a smaller lift cam and the small AFB (3611S) and 516 heads. Not sure about bothering with that.
Good luck with your build. I'd like to see the domes on them as well.
