350 Pistons in a 327

Ive been reading up on this a bit and wanted some clarification. From what ive read, 350 pistons will fit (same bore) but they do not have the same height as the 327 pistons. How do i go about figuring out which 350 pistons to use in a 327 so i dont run too high compression, id like to stay between 9:1 and 10:1.

Thanks!!

Without doing any math, a 350 piston in a 327 is probably going to get you about 5:1 compression.
