looks like they have them for 4.25" stroke.

If they don't have a lightweight version listed, call them. The crank supplier lists the lightweight cranks for both low and high deck engines in different stroke lengths.

I've run one in my RB with their 7.1 inch rods, and like how the motor rev's with such smoothness and ease. My pistons only weigh 524 grams, which I'm hoping will help ease the strain on the main caps etc.I forget what the total bob weight is though. I've had it apart once due to a valve train harmonic issues, and there was no sign of cap walk at that point. The block does have main studs and a Hughes girdle.

Last 505" stroker using 440 block, Source 4.25" lightweight stroker crank, 7.1" H-Beam rods, and the 27cc dish pistons (TF240 heads, mild pump gas build.)

They were out of stock for a little while, but we got them back in last week, so they are back up on the web store and available for purchase again.
