You need to look at a 390 truck piston.
By Dave Shoe - 12/13/2001 11:04:15 PM; IP 216.243.158.175
Naturally your 390 car piston is taller than the 428. This high-compression 390 piston is also unsatisfactory for heavy truck hauling use.

It's most versions of the 390 FE pickup truck piston that are about the same height as the 410/428 and will let you stroke a 390 with minimal cost.

If you're gonna mix-match parts, there are gonna be expensive ways, and there are gonna be cheap ways. If you have a fat wallet, either way will work. If you have a thin wallet, you may want to pay attention to these tricks, assuming you want to get back on the road sometime soon.
