Default Stock pistons in 327 stroker.

This may sound stupid but i was wondering if you were to put a 3.25 stroker crank inn a 302 would the stock pistons work. Thins is based off a 91 HO engine with factory forged pistons.

No, he isn't joking. They will technically fit in the bores of the shortblock. They just wont fit once its a longblock. .

no they wont. a 351w uses a 3" main on the crank.


OP asked an admittedly stupid question.
To which I responded with a stupid answer

To actually answer your question....you are operating within a few parameters.

1. The block is 8.200

2. The crank is 3.250 stroke

3. The piston is 1.600 from the center of the pin to the deck of the piston.

4. The connecting rod is 5.090 center to center.

You can change any number in here, except the block height. So...if you have a 3.250 stroke crank and a 1.600 C/H piston.....the rod has to change to 4.965. (8.200 - stroke/2 - 1.600 = rod length)

No you can't do it, and you are now armed with the knowledge that will avoid annoying these fine fellows. In my experience, they really get testy if you are new to the hobby.
