1/2 stroke + rod length + compression height =stack height. Since the deck is 10.3 then you want the stack height to add up to 10.3 since you want it at zero deck.

If its stock then 1/2 stroke = 1.925 + rods (6.605) = 8.53..........(Deck height) 10.3 - 8.53 = 1.77. You with me here? Your pistons need to have a 1.77 compression height assuming it has never been decked, and is a stock stroke 460 in order for the piston to be at zero deck without machining.

Thumbs up? Wink Or down? No

There's Diamond pistons, they are forged.

Probe and Diamond have some good pistons. Cool Make sure and attach them to the crank with a good set of rods. Cool
