Mike,

To maintain the engine's balance, the pistons must be the same weight and therefore I would not recommend mixing aluminum and cast iron pistons on the same crankshaft. Even though they might have the same compression (same identical shape), the difference in specific gravity will create an unbalanced engine that will (at a minimum) run rough and at worst, will self destruct in short order.
