pistons

ok, a little help please... looking for pistons.. have a 400 66/67 and would like to bore 60 over.. was thinking pistons might be one of the easier things to come up with... not looking to run this past 4K rpm,
don't need forged... was thinking 350, would be fine or 425's.. using
425 crank.. any ideas would be great... I may not be looking in the all
the right places, but they appear to be a harder then I had thought ..
thanks
john

It's common to use standard bore Olds 350 pistons in an early 400. Compression height is the same and the 4.057" piston is an 0.057" overbore on the stock 4.000" bore.

By the way, the early 400 crank IS the 425 crank. Same forging, same stroke (3.980").
