All,

Well it is exciting to see all of this happening. Thanks Todd, for working with Diamond. I'm sure that many members will be able build exactly what they wanted.

Unfortunately, I started the topic to discuss using an aftermarket piston with OEM components to build a Stroker. The pistons that Todd will have in stock from Diamond will be using aftermarket rods, which I don't have. I'm still talking to Ron at Diamond about the possibility of building the 383/431 using 440 LY rods and maybe OEM 383 rods in the future. Maybe once some more interest in using the OEM parts are considered, and then Todd will be able to get those pistons also.

Thanks,
Mark Jackson
