    Speed Pro makes a forged flat top piston that will get you ion the mid 9 : 1 range depending which thickness head gasket you use , I do not have the part # handy right now

    Your combo sounds fine. You may want to mill the heads a bit to reduce the 88cc volume

    That is a big cam for a 383, I have the same one in my 440 and it likes a 2800 stall and 3.55 or 3.91's. With the 383 you need a higher stall speed than 2800 or it might be pretty sluggish.
