Thread: piston and rod types for a 383

Tweet

lobster, I'm gonna show you these guys just because you may not know about them. First up is a skinny-budget stroker kit that uses the short 400 rods. One of the options is hyper pistons for $105, so for $565, you'd have an operational kit....

As far as rod length, I always refer back to a paper written by Ron Iskenderian, son of the famous "Camfather" Ed Iskenderian. If these guys don't know the straight skinny on rods, then I suspect nobody does......See tech tip #2005.....
