Building a 393W

Hey guys I am in the process of building a 351W. It is a 89 truck engine. I tore it apart to check everything of course. The pistons looked like you could swim in them cause the dish was so big lol. So I was goin to order a set of pistons for it. Everybody keeps telling me that since im puttin a set of pistons in it that i should go ahead and make it a 393. Ive researched it a little bit and seen you use 3.85 stroke crank, stock 351 rods, and 302 pistons. What do yall think? What crank would yall recommend, etc? Thanks guys in advance
