Quote: For a 383 stroker using 440 parts, can I use the same pistons or do I need stroker pistons with shorter skirts? Im just wondering the cost to build a budget stroker with parts I may already have vs a stock 383 build. Unlike other motors I have built before, I would finally like to succeed in a budget build for once and not go broke. My goal is to get the Charger running this year. It has sat for the last decade since I got it. Time to finally do something with it. Once done I can figure out what to do about the body.
You are correct that you'll need shorter skirt pistons. And since you're talking about a 383/432 type stroker, you'll be looking to forged pistons from Ross or Diamond which will make for not a budget build.
