Default What pistons should i go with?

I'm building a LT1 383. Its gonna be a 4.030 bore with a 3.75 stroke and I'm buying a callies dragonslayer crank which is cammed for 5.850 rods and I'm also buying compstar 5.850 connecting rods. I want to use JE pistons but i don't know what pistons to buy because they all say they are for either 5.700 rods or 6.000 rods. Can someone help me out with the pistons?

JE is mighty proud of their pistons. check out diamond. they can make whatever you need and the prices arent too stout. my forged pistons were 800 and were coated.
