Why would you want to run a dome piston?

You'll be at 14.0:1 with a flat top piston.
Way more desirable to run a flat top over any dome piston.
My advice would to run a 3.970 bore piston allowing you to run a commonly available off-the-shelf head gasket.

This is a common flat top piston that I keep in stock.
That said, i'll build you anything you want : )

Shoot me a call or email if you'd like more information on my Pistons.

Why not run a piston for a Jeep?
