Default Need help with piston selection

I'm looking for advise on what piston to use for a 383 SBC I'm putting together.

I have decided to go with a Scat crankshaft (9-350-3750-6000-L), and Scat connecting rods (2-ICR6000-716).

I'm looking for a forged flat top piston that will provide about 10.0 to one compression with a 74cc head. I would like to have a quench of about .035, and need to know what deck height and gasket combination will give me this with the piston I choose.

This will be for a street driven car. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

i have diamond flat tops in mine with the same bottom end. should give you about 10-1 with that cc head. alittle pricey but a great piston. Diamond goes off a 9" deck height.

Do you have a part number or link to that piston?
