Might get some more replies if you explain what you have going on?
You rebuilding? Need one for a budget repair because just one is damaged?
I'd guess the stock ones are just hypereutectic.
And I believe the 350, 6.2/377, and even the 4.3 might of used the same piston.
My first thought in a factory LKQ rebuild replacement without the price gouging of Mercury would be Silvolite.

rebuilding a engine with a bad piston, Merc has discontinued the piston, it is a piston made specifically for a 6.2,
4.3-5.0-5.7 all use a different piston as skirt is longer
hard piston to find I am sure demand is low, but Silvolite is about the only ones offering it from my finding, had to order a complete set as you cant buy just one which is best i replace all anyways.
Thanks

I don't know if this is an option for you, but lookup www.dssracing.com
I just bought a semi custom set of pistons from them for my race car. Forged right here in Chicago, USA.
