PIN: 2.500 X .927 ...... BORE: 3.899 ..... AVE WT: 362 GRAMS ..... CH: 1.068 ..... EDV: -2.0 ....

There's no reason to tear the motor down just to throw in pistons unless the motor is already in need of a rebuild. You also need to know all the specs of the pistons so you will know if they will set-up right on a stock rod/stroke.

You can find a 6.0 block for cheap. Spray your stock block till it blows, then use the stroker you built on the side to replace it. If your stocker happens to live through your spraying habits until the new block is built, then sell it to recoupe some of your costs.
