That is a great idea; omit the whole BB chevy piston and longer rod and design a piston with the same weight and wrist pin height, which uses the thinner piston rings, ups the compression by removing the dish, and reduces friction by reducing the large piston skirts...
Also, different diameters could be designed and manufactured for the 351, 401, and 478 engines. This would also do away with the 3 compression ring design which definitely adds to the internal friction.
