kb makes a good piston,work with what your budget allows.......you should be aware that those pistons will sit .020 below the deck.....to make the engine less prone to detination(ping) it would be a good idea to cut .015 off the deck and use a mls gasket .039 or .041.....to tighten your quench
this improves flame travel and makes the engine more efficient.......and would keep your timing at 32 degrees at full advance.......at that compression and with those heads with a good intake that motor will run like a bear and make plenty of torque..........you can always upgrade the cam later on....
good luck with your build and let us know how you make out................ ken
