it can be done I had one done, and it is still running . But I will say it will be Cheaper to just buy you a new Crank. I think mine cost $450 and that was over 12 or so years ago....you can buy you a 4.15 4.3 or a 4.5 cast for about $400 now a days...

I think most of the major piston manufacturers are making shelf pistons for the common stoker cranks, but to do a 4" crank will take a set of custom pistons. Custom=$$$$. Cool

for a 4" crank I used a 6.535 rod and a stock 460 pin height piston and it came out right just order it with .990 pin or have your rods bored out to 1.040
