stock rod length and stroke. I'm just gonna boost it, and my heads are a little smaller chamber then stock, so I need to compensate by either a dish (-20cc maybe?) or a zero deck height, or both.

I like to see a 9.5 compression ratio with a reasonable amount of boost.
With a 70CC chamber, a standard .060 gasket, the piston .010 out of the hole, standard stroke and bore, all you'll want is a 7CC dish to put you there.

The old LQ4 engine had dished pistons, then they upgraded to flat-tops on the LQ9, if I recall correctly. But, if your're rebuilding your bottom end, maybe you don't want hypereutectic pistons.

I am planning to boost it, so it will likely get forged pistons and rods. just looking for good replacements with the right dish in standard bore. the block has ZERO miles on it, so I really don't want to have to go get it machined.

Standard rod length from what I remember, I was using Eagle H-Beam Rods. The heads were PP Stage 3 LS6 heads with 59cc chambers (from my H/C setup, reason such small chambers). As for the head gasket, I don't remember the thickness off of the top of my head but it was the Fel-Pro 6.0L gaskets you get from the auto store. The reason I used these is because I had the block cut for o-rings around each cylinder and you can't use an MLS gasket with them, I could have gone copper but then the heads would have needed receiver grooves. Anyway, sorry I'm not too much help, this engine was built awhile ago and I have since sold it to another member on this board. If my memory serves me correctly I had figured the compression ratio to be arount 8.7:1 give or take a couple tenths.

thanks! 8.7 is a pretty good drop for a 59cc head. How much boost were you pushing?
do you happen to remember the part number of the pistons? I don't see ANY gen3 pistons on their site

and go to page 8, their website has been updated some since I have been there, it tells you the compression ratio depending on your chamber size. The ones you want are titled:
