Re: 409-410ci stroker details - need input (Denny McLain)
Denny, don't know if you are interested, but there is an LT4 383 stroker motor for sale in the houston newspaper. You can probably do a search on the Houston Chronicle web site and find it or email me and I will look up the ad and send the phone number for the ad. Says engine is fresh and has not been run since rebuild, AFR heads, Accel DFI included $7900.00 asking price.

i just helped a guy with the parts needed for this, eagle has a 4" crank for $649, scat makes a really strong 6" rod for $299, JE makes the pistons at $699 a set, do your machine work and your good to go. make sure you use main studs and a girdle if possible on a production block, those 4" cranks beat bearings.

Re: 409-410ci stroker details - need input (Denny McLain)
In following the link there seems to be some question regarding rod length. Why would a 6" rod be less desireable than a 5.85 rod or visa versa. The 6" would give a better ratio... but what problems could it cause. It's only .015 difference. Not much either way.

6" Rod
9.025 Deck - 1.025 piston compression height
9.015 Deck - 1.015 piston compression height
9.000 Deck - 1.000 piston compression height
5.850" Rod
9.025 Deck - 1.175 piston compression height
9.015 Deck - 1.165 piston compression height
9.000 Deck - 1.150 piston compression height
1" is considered the minimum compression height for a three ring piston.
