i've never had a solid block you should be able to go big, check and see what pistons are available or go see at insidetopalcohol.com they must have people that have run that motor

I have a post on inside top alcohol/Not many run these antiques any more. As for piston they are custom made so any size works and same cost.

Yep looks like 4.375or 4.400 is doable . If going to spend money for new pistons might as well go bigger and add another 1/4" of crank plus cpl points compression. Figure can always drop compression if need with gaskets. hAVE .030 TO .090 sitting here.
