As a rule of thumb, you can go as thin as .175 (depending upon the quality of the material used)and be safe as long as its a naturally aspirated engine and no NOS. Just measure the thickness and see what you've got. Sometimes this can be a little challenging with valve reliefs but you can get close. I usually try to stay in the .200 range with forged pistons but have seen folks go as low as .165 and work just fine. Hope that helps.
