Motor is for my 69 Camaro.

I would like in-stock pistons, not custom.

Very few companies offer in-stock 427 piston's because I have been told, "427's are not common and are custom built only". The cost for custom takes too much money out of budget.

I found SRP and Icon offering in-stock pistons.

SRP's are 9.5:1
Icon are 10:1 or 10.5:1
Mahle?

Has anyone ever tried ​MircroBlue Bearings?

Specs. 1969 427 BBC with 074 Winters casting aluminum heads, stock crank. I plan on using Comp Cam roller cam. Street driven. Open to other piston brands, advice on rings and cam specs also.

Thanks

SRP is a great choice in pistons. We've used them heavily over the years with street/strip applications. I personally stick with Clevite77 (H) Series bearings as they're proven time and time again.
