Not saying that without exception, but you're asking a lot from them. You may have your work cut out for you finding them.

8.5:1? Not with those heads. Even with the bigger 60cc combustion chamber you're still going to have to have some seriously dished pistons to get less than 10.5:1.

331ci, 3.25 stroke, 15cc dish piston, 0 deck block, .039 head gasket 58cc chamber, 9.2:1-9.3:1

The 61cc hamber will only bring it down to around 9:1, a custom piston can get you to your 8.5:1 goal...
