Anyone used the new(ish) Icon #687 or even #690(3.75 stroker) pistons for the 383? I have a couple 383's that could be turned into useful motors with a nice reasonably priced piston, such as the Icon. Looking for opinions, also, measured piston and pin weights, since the claimed weight on the Icon site is clearly wrong(sub-500gm at 1.9xx CH) Thanks. S/F....Ken M

i think there is also a 1.32ch icon piston for the 383, that would work with the 440 crank and rods...

My 440 Source Kit came with these Icon Pistons - Flat Top -4cc valve reliefs .030

383/432 Stroker 3.75” - 6.760” Rod

I would have to find all the paperwork for weights

Its what I used in my 511 build. Bought a set of 8 brand new for $500. Great bargain of a piston IMO.

Thanks all,

I'm quite familiar with Icon pistons in general, I've used at least four sets so far, but I'm specifically looking for info on the IC687's, for the 3.38 stroke, short rod combo. Looking for a reasonable forged shelf piston for 383's. I might just have to bite the bullet and order a set. Thanks. S/F....Ken M
