The DSS pistons would only work for you if you found a machinist, then bore it or rehone it, rebalance it for the lighter DSS pistons and probably some forged rods, and deck the block. The DSS pistons loose some quench, they are .020” short than the 2262s, work better on decked blocks. For what you want to do the 2262 would work fine.
I have a balanced 3.75 fresh machined rotating assembly for H beams rods and have forged Icon IC890-.030” over forged pistons I would part with if you wanted to do some upgrades and not find a machinist. I am not sure if the ring height lines up though, not sure how they would work on a seasoned engine. Doesn’t sound like you necessarily need too change that stuff though.
