383 stroker questions So currently in my LS1 I have a set of Diamond pistons (-2cc, 3.905) and Eagle H-beam rods (6.125") with a stock crank. Do I need to do anything other than buy a crank with a 4" stroke? Anything else needed?
I was gonna go 370, but I spun a few bearings and figured my crank was fried and I would need to buy a new one anyways... So I picked up an LS6 block for cheap. I thought it was as simple as just buying a new crank and slapping my pistons and rods in, but I started reading and of course, I confused myself!!

You will have to get new pistons. The pistons that you need to use with the longer stroke have the wrist pin sitting up higher so they won't be shoved into the heads.
