440 Block salvage part info needed(Machine shop thread followup)

Ok guys, a few questions so I can get stuff ordered for this block we have been discussing.
If I were to use this cast crank:...
What is the lightest stock stroke rod and piston combo?
I need a piston idea, so I can give it to the shop for him to deck it to where it needs to be. I want flat tops, unless dish would give a better flame front? Can I get 10.5-1 with any dish piston and TF heads?
Can/should I use 7.1 rods? Pros/cons in this application?
Are aluminum caps/girdle still recommended for a lightweight rotating assembly 440 with a 6000-6200 redline?
Car will have aluminum heads, wanted TF 270 originally, 240 would probably be better with the cast rpm range. (?)
I know some of this is dead horse material, but I'm trying to get an idea of what I need so I can get the shop the info they need while that water is still warm.
Thanks again; the support is appreciated big time.
Flat tops will be better for quench, you can't get 10.5 compression with a stock stroke 440 & dish pistons.
If it were me, I'd find a couple hundred dollar forged Mopar crank and have it offset stroked to bbc rod journals, that will give you more rod & piston choices + an additional 20 ish cubic inches.
If you plan on racing it much you may want to think aftermarket.
Here is a formula to find what you need.
Find out the stroke 3.750 standard stroke 440 or 3.910 for offset stroke
Divide it by 2.
Pick a rod length & add those together.
Take your deck height 10.725 & subtract the 1/2 stroke & rod number.
You will have a left over number which will be the maximum piston height.
Hope that helps.
I'll do some looking & give a couple ideas tomorrow
