I love my "tooth pick", puts the f-body 10-bolt to shame!and yes, list the shops name NOW, so we can avoid it. Killer stroker motor? uh huh... you tell that "mechanic" to pull his head from his ***, and tell the customer to spend the money on the heads, stall, and gears.
Pretty sure new pistons come with new wrist pins, and the pistons must be matched to the stroke and rod combo. most common are 5.7"(stock) and 6". In theory the 6" rod has a better angle, it makes the piston lighter, but doesn't work well with the 396+ strokers.
I predict a very disapointed customer, cuz unless this build has some tricks under the sleve, it's not gonna put down. 400 hp to the wheels. or the flywheel for that matter, will still be a struggle.

If there was one persons advise I would value it was yours, although it was harsh at times. But the info was there.
well you came off thinking i was doing the build up and thought it was gonna be putting high numbers. i posted this to get opinions on it because i dont even praise whats going into the engine. hell i have plans for mine that i know is gonna pull off power, but thats in due time.
