72,
.020s are available in a casting, but not a forging (unless you order "customs"). The Sealed Power part number is: 400NP-020. The rings are E-299K-020 (for moly) or E-299X-020 (iron).
.020 over is not a "popular" oversize, as .030 and .060 are more the "norm". If the cast piston is adequate for your application (no nitrous, no blower, consistent fuel supply), go the .020 route.
You may need a shop with a hone equipped with "diamond stones" to go .020 accurately. Often, a boring machine will not "clean" a bore at .020, and will require .030.

[MrPbody]

72GTO,
Any Federal Mogul (Sealed Power/Speed Pro) warehouse can either supply OR order them for you. If you can't locate such a warehouse, e-mail me. I can hook you up. Where are you located?

Okay i have found a place to order them. Now i need a new cam and lifters what size lift would you recommend?

[MrPbody]

Comp XE262H, Comp 3112 timning set, Comp 988-16 springs and appropriate retainers. Stock valve train pieces will work with this cam, but it's about as big as you dare go without upgrading the valve train. With that little carb, it will be quite responsive, and won't out-rev your stock bottom end.
