hey all, I am  putting together my first stroker,350 .030 over, what piston do I use? I tried a sealed power 345 NP but it sticks up .065 above block.
what gives?  Thanks  Willy

www.jegs.com has the number 844-H860CP30 listed for the 383 stroker with 5.7 inch rods.

.065" out of the block? You have a problem there that probably isn't related to the piston. A stacking of tolerances with the decking, rod length, and stroke length probably caused this. It is a large mistake though, you may be able to rectify it with a combination of a slightly shorter piston height and very thick copper head gaskets.

Sounds like you've got too long a connecting rod. Did you buy a dedicated stroker kit, or buy all the parts seperately?
