i just brought a 427 td
it came stock with a forged crank
i want to rebuild it, and make it a stroker
i want to use the same crank since its already forged and top quality, but i don't want to use truck pistons.
and i dont want to purchase any kits(there way to expensive)

so help me out, what type of pistons(for a 8.3-9.3 compression), size rods, should i get?
what do i use to make this truck engine into a stroker?
thanks.

 

??????????????????
??????? what type of fuel
427??? Do you mean a ford 7.3?
TD???? Meaning Turbo Diesel?
8.3-9.3???? Is this a big boost application?
stock crank= stock stroke???????? The crank gives you your stroke.
Rebuild????? WHY should probably have been my first question

 

oh, um. i thought the longer the piston rod, the longer the stroke.
anyways, i want midgrade gas, thats why i want the 8.3-9.3 compression.
td meaning talldeck. chevy 427 at that
thanks for anyhelp.
