Don't know how much re-engineering you want to do, but you can get
hypereutectic pistons for GM V6's in the right diameter:

ilv-O-Lite-Hypereutectic-Pistons/?autoview=SKU&page=2
I'm sure that a bit of digging would get you forged pistons for the same
application but the price would go up. They (Wiseco, etc.) make flat-top
forged pistons for VW motors in 96.5mm, but they're expensive. Smaller
diameters are cheap.
