429 Build - Piston questions.
Building a 1971 429 block with a 429 crank. Is the L2366F Speed Pro the correct piston to use for the stock crank to obtain the piston flush with the deck? Stated compression height is 1.89. Any other suggestions for pistons?

Not to be a jerk, but I'd suggest getting a 460 crank and your piston options become a lot better and you will gain a noticeable amount of torque.

I appreciate the 460 crank comment.
I guess I'm not so concerned with ultimate torque. Just a 3/4 ton truck that is a weekend driver. I just really want a slightly upgraded 429. I think it to be more unique. I am also considering putting a tbi injection unit on it.

I would skip the forged pistons if it is going to be a naturally aspirated engine.

Then your selection for pistons is very limited and you will need to deck the block to get zero deck if that's what your looking for.

So is this piston correct?
Is the L2366F Speed Pro the correct piston? Price seems right around $440 on Sleezepay.

Just built a 429 with l2366f and i did have to deck block. Using eagle rods. I dig the 429. Look around someone has to have them setting around.
