Reply to "Stroker piston question"

George PAdmin.

In my opinion, the heads to use with a 4" stroker are the '71/'72 vintage open chamber Cobra Jet heads. Custom order a set of standard bore forged flat-tops, set the pistons about 0.035" in the hole at TDC for 10.0:1 compression ratio. And don't be mislead in thinking that open chamber heads ping easier than closed chamber heads. They don't.

The advantage to custom ordering the pistons is you can order full round skirt pistons (endurance racing pistons) which are the proper pistons to run in a thin wall block if you want to avoid cracking cylinder walls.

Contact me privately if you'd like contact info for a guy who can spec pistons & rings for that stroker that won't burn oil.
