Not sure they can make all pistons, but EGGE makes some custom pistons for really old engines.

I spoke with Dan Karpel @ Crank Machine service a few years ago about pistons for a UC after he did a crank for me and he had a source. He suggested making a fiberglass resin cast of the head chamber to give most accurate shape for best dome configuration. Life has gotten in the way and i have yet to do it. Id be interested in doubling your order depending on what you go with, if you decide to roll with it. I guess we have talked this over James, but dont remember if i ever got you the contact info

Hey Cal, I am sending one of my pistons to extreme tractor parts-Ray. I ended up having my sleeves bored .030 over. I am having .500 added to compression ht. This will be 7-1 CR and the piston will be .060 below the spark plug hole so it wont require any features on top. Calculates show hp around 65. Plenty for me, I am not competing just want enough that it never powers out on the fun pulls and I can still hand crank it-- LOL.
I am only guessing but with your stroke, it would push the piston up enough to gain a lot more compression plus CI. You could buy new sleeves and rings and run stock pistons.??

yeah i have to run short bbc style piston just to keep the rings in the sleeve with the stroke and custom rods i have. Was going to run 4.625 bore as can be done without machine work on block, so will be 445 cubes if i ever get it done. being a UM engine im in uncharted territory but i dont really have the finances to be a guinea pig lol. if im going to do something i just as well make it a worth while though....
