I having a hard time,as I have a nice original 396 block only.
I measured the cylinders...they all measure the standard bore size of 4.094.
The block code is T0303cf-Tonawanda,cast march 3,cf I believe is a 69 Camaro 4 speed code.
The problem I see is everyone offers cranks with 4 inch stroke,not 3.760.
I've looked in every piston catalog I can find,nothing with a bore size of 4.094,everything is 4.250 bore.
Wiseco is local for me,I may stop in and ask for a custom set and see what they say.
Still leaves me looking for a way to balance everything once I find all the parts.
If anyone can help me build a 396...I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

You could call Summit Racing tech line. They have a lot of stuff that's not listed. Did you try an online search for 396 Chevy pistons ? That may turn something up.
The 396 isn't an orphan, so there's parts around for them.

PAW performance auto wholesalers, i used to shop with them all the time, their engine catalog used to be telephone book thick, theyve thinned it out a bit but my 2008 catalog showsnthey offer what they call a Super Stock crank kit which includes

Pistons & pins
Piston rings
Resized factory rods
Bearings
Crankshaft

$820 cast pistons
$870 forged

Its an old catalog so I gotta imagine prices and availabilitymay be different
