Using sbc 4.030 pistons
I have a set of 1.125 compression height 4.030 bore Mahle pistons , pins, circlips , & rings. (one of the powerpak sets that costs like $600-700)
If one were so inclined , could these be used in a ls engine platform? i assume they would have to be flycut? Its a -26cc dished piston and would be used in either a 3.75 stroke build or a 6.125 rod 4.0" stroke boosted build.

Yeah, the bottom will come out but if the skirt profile is designed for it, it's not a problem. The skirt will be barrel shaped and as long as the fastest part of the barrel is still in the cylinder, you're all good. The problem here is that I don't think the skirt profile will be the same, but Mahle should be able to tell you that.
