A piston that big gets into the category of extremely expensive custom forged items. Assuming you can find someone to build one that size (Venolia, perhaps?) be prepared to spend upwards of a thousand dollars for six pistons. Then you'll have an engine suitable only for racing. It would be a lot simpler to try to find a GMC 302 engine instead of modifying the 270. Jerry
