All,

Just got an email from Ron at Diamond. We were talking about the Short Rod (SR) 431 Stroker vs. the Long Rod (LR) 431 Stroker. They are currently working on drawings for the SR431. He asked me what the Compression Height did I want. I thought that I would ask my fellow enthusiasts, before I wrote him back.

For the LR451, with the 440 LY Rod - 1.320" seems to be common.

Ross sells a piston for the SR451 with a Compression Height of 1.728". I see no reason that the SR431 should be any different, unless a lower compression engine is more desirable. Opinions?

Thanks,
