All,

I have received emails from most of the piston manufactures on the market. Basically, they have custom pistons for $1000+. However, there were a couple of exceptions.

Ron at Diamond Pistons said that they are interested in creating an "off-the-shelf" piston for the 383/431 Stroker. It would come in a flat-top and a dish configuration. It would be designed using the 440 rod length. However, after reading the previous posts and maybe some research about the small bore/short rod phenomenon, they may want to look at the 383 rod also.

Mike at Muscle Motors Racing said he would have some sets in stock in a few weeks. The cost is $559. I bet these are custom Ross Pistons, but I’m not sure.

So if anyone out there wants to build this Stroker or thinks it’s a good idea, you had better start sending so emails to these guys an let them know. Capitalize on the opportunity.

Here are some links.
