Default Piston Selection Help

Hey Guys Im building a 355 and Ive got most of the parts picked out except for the pistons so I need some help. Its going to be a .30+ motor with stock stroke but Id like to run a 6" rod if its makes pistons considerably more expensive I may stick with the 5.7 rod.

Id like forged but I cant afford and of the crazy stuff its just going to be a H/C 355 on the stock crank with a nice hit of spray.

What would yall reccomend.

Mahle SBC250030F05 Powerpack piston kit. Its a 1.250” compression height -5cc piston. With a 6” rod, a stock stroke crank, the deck of the piston will be 8.990” from the crank centerline.
