Default Clearancing Pistons

I have a set of Diamond pistons that are for the stock 3.622 stroke and i was wondering if I could clearance those for a 4.00 stroke? I would like to go to to 383

It's not as easy as clearancing the pistons for extra extra stroke. The pin placement in the piston is changed to accommodate the longer stroke. That's not something you or I can fix or change ourselves unfortunately.

Ok that's cool, so stick with a 346 or buy new 4.00 crank and new 4.00 stroke pistons. Thx for the info.
