Default was thinking of running this stroker combo

ls1 pistons for 383 for 4 inch stroke and a compression height of 1.110. Ok, using the formula, the 4.250 seems like it could work..

9.240 deck - 2.125 - 1.110= 6 inch rod Well, 6.005 to be exact but my pistons are for a 6.125 rod and this formula results in 6.130 so that is correct.

I wonder if everything would clear the crank or how to make it work. This makes more sense to me and may even enable us to run nitrous with a little strength still left in the piston.

The problem is that the cranks listed have a minimum rod length listed. Opinions??

Two things:
1) That crank is going to pull the piston out of the bottom of the bore too far and cause oil burning. My 4.100" crank, 6.125" rods, and Wiseco pistons designed specially for this application burns a quart or so every oil change.

2) I bet that rod is too short and will crash the piston skirts into the crank counter weights at BDC.
