LS3 stock pistons with 427 stroker kit?
I have a LS3 pullout motor from a 2010 camaro that I am going to put in my 1969 Camaro. I was going to just do a cam swap and then drop it in but am now considering doing other performance mods.
I would like to keep costs down as much as possible while increasing horsepower and torque. So I was wondering if it is possible to use the stock pistons while installing a 4.125" crank with appropriate rods to stroke this motor to 427cid?
Thanks,

No, the rods lenght is 6.098 on the ls3 and the aftremarket stroker kits are made for a 6.125 rod so the compression height is wrong. Now having said that you. You might be able to match something up but I doubt it.

Thanks for the reponses.
Can anyone advise of where I could get a good price on the complete 427 stroker kit? or a 416 stroker kit?
Also, how much should I expect to pay a shop to install the stroker kit and cam?
