Has anyone built the 440 source 400 to 500ci stroker?

[chapel40]

It has the light pistons and says it will rev quickly. It requires oil ring supports. Any downside to these pistons? Do they wear any faster than a taller piston?

Thanks in advance!!

I have not, but on a street driven car, i would not use a piston so short that the oil rings are over the wrist pin. It can be done, but will probably have noise and longevity issues.

I built the 512 440 source, 400 block, I drive mine on the street & do some 1/4 mile.

Why did you opt for the 512? Did you consider the 500?

Thanks

for what coonhunterjoe said, also I like the smaller rod journal of the 4.250 stroke crank, mine revs like a small block.

Thinking Ill go with the 512. Do you see any advantage of getting the ultralight crankshaft?

no reason for the lighter crank on a street car.

I would go 470 a good middle ground and less side load.
