piston question please help!

i found a good deal for some ROSS racing stroker .040 pistons for my 440. guy only has 5 and said had 20 passes on engine before pulled.. i was planning on buying 3 new ones and having the machine shop balance/weigh them and fit them in the 440(bore it .040 over) guy says they wont work with stock rods or crank  said a 4.5 stroker crank and stroker rods had to go with them? i dunno if its true or not.. heres the pistons.. same as the ones the guys selling..

just need to know if they will work without a stroker crank or stroker rods.. using stock rods and crank

You could make them work, but not very well.

haha whats that suppose to mean?

Nope. For a start they are stroker pistons, if you put them in with a stock crank they will end up 0.225" in the hole, maybe 7:1. PLus they take .990 pins, stock rods use 1.094".

NOPE, they don't work with stock crank & rods.
