1959. 383rb pistons

Can anyone out there tell me where I can buy pistons for a 383 rb engine out of a 59 dodge? Thanks

Welcome.

Pistons are not hard to come by, the key is Compression Height and Weight. If you have a piston out you could easily measure it and match to what is available. Weight will be first concern if your looking to save the cost of balancing the rotating assembly. Compression Height and with or without valve notches will be a concern for camshaft lift.

The first question, is it a stock rebuild/freshen or performance build?

Thanks for your help . It will be a stock rebuild but even with the piston weight and dimensions how and where do I go to find the equivalent pistons? From what I’m seeing they don’t make these pistons for the 383rb and to try and find the equivalent out of something different will be a task. Thanks
