I say this being 14 months into this headache, but I ended up going with SBM forged pistons and 425 (7") rods.

3.975 pistons, as in like .100" over?

At .040" over I was looking at 3.910 slugs.

Yes. You know what? I screwed up. I was thinking 3.975 was the original bore size for an E-block 400 but of course it was 4.00. Disregard.
