there are no stock 1/2" lowdeck oil pickups.
1/2 pickup is PAN dependent and you can get around that if you use your brain ,it's has nothing to do with the blocks deck height .
if you want to get TECHNICAL there were no WEDGE MOTORS with a 1/2 pickup .
if you REALLY want to get technical you can kiss my
your name fits you PERFECTLY ...

I am building a 400 "B" to 500 cid stroker, but it will mostly be a bracket engine. The lightweight pistons should make the engine rev really well, but I can see how the short skirt of the piston would rock more than the taller 470 cid stroker piston. I figure this will wear the rings faster, but on the type of engine I am building it might get inspected and freshened up every year or two anyhow.
The 451 Stroker I had, laster 12 years with no problems then the intake valve broke and holed the piston, and nicked up the cylinder, plus made a mess out of the cylinder head in that chamber. otherwise it was a very reliable engine, but give up displacement to the bigger stroker engines.
We just fired up my friends 470 last week. I guess we will see how it performs and lasts..

what CH piston did you use in that 451 ?

A shorter rod and longer piston means the wrist pin will come to a lower point in the bore. I would run the 500 and get a kit with the longest rods. Longer rods put less side load on the piston and the overall height of the piston (Crown to tip of skirt) should be the same. If you are dead set on a 7000 rpm motor though then get the 470 and still use the longest rods you can. If you have good machine work and quality parts then either one should last a good long time.
