No because it won't work. When using a longer stroke crank, you have to use shorter rods. I don't know why a person would want to use stock pistons for anything other than a stock engine.

actually, with most stroker cranks, you use longer rods...the length comes off the pistons. you use pistons with a shorter CD.
