Default 6.0 truck engine build?

Guys, I am building a 6.0 cast iron truck block to put in my truck. Does anyone know if there are any hyperueretic oversize pistons for the 4.00 bore that are flat tops. Like a 4.03 LQ9 or LS2 replacement piston. Thanks

I think Speed Pro makes hypereutectic pistons as well for LSx engines.

This is an LQ4 pullout build. I had purchased LQ9 rods and pistons. I am boring to 4.03 and wanted to use the LQ9 rods and replacement flat top 4.030 pistons. I don't need expensive forged pistons because this motor will only be 10.9 to 1 compression and naturally aspirated running a 226/228 585/588 114+4 cam and going in the truck. Thanks.

Is that on the truck part of LS1 tech or the LS1 truck forum? If I could bore my cast block to 4.030 and use the LQ9 rods with 4.030 hyperpuretic pistons, that is want I want to do. I have a set of Patriot stage 3 heads with 2.08/1.60 valves and a vengeance VRX3 cam to put in it. That would be fine for my 2005 RCSB Z71 truck and probably be a good naturally aspirated budget build.

Thanks for the help. Those pistons are exactly what I want to use with the LQ9/LS2 rods. May go just .020 for now, since they make those.
