How to get 10:1

I tried search for this here, but what would be the best pistons to use on a 460, with the early block and C8 heads, to get 10:1 CR?
Thanks

what are you doing with the motor? There are a number of options depending on use.

A 22cc dish piston will get a little over 10:1 with the c8 heads.

The Speed pro / TRW stuff mentioned will get you there. They are heavy but good for street / strip use.
