Wow, having trouble finding a flat top forged piston for the 351W. Summit doesn't carry any, and Jegs literally doesn't have anything forged for the Fords, only hypereucrackems.

I'm building a 351W 30 over to run naturally aspirated with stock rods reconditioned and stock crank. The pistons which I have sitting next to me from Summit turned out to be forged TRW dished pistons, no good.

Where and what should I buy? I'm not looking to spend $800 on pistons, because if I do that than I'll need to get a new rotating assembly (not risking $$$ pistons on stock assembly).

Don't remember any prices off the top of my head, but check out Probe. I'm sure they will have something. If not Performance Automotive Warehouse (PAW) should.
Why do you want forged pistons if you are still gonna use the stock bottom end N/A? May be a little overkill... not that there's anything wrong with that.
