Break the bank.

Bust it open.

Order up a set of Ross or Icon custom forged pistons made to the compression height, dish volume and bore size you need.

I wouldn’t order them until the block is decked (to determine compression height) and after your machinist determines the final bore size.

In the end if you buy a heavy press-pin TRW/Sealed Power/Federal Mogul piston and then cut a dish in it you’re pretty much within a hundred or two dollars of a better full-floating pin forged piston that uses a more modern ring pack anyway.
