This from Jim Butler. He used the 4.250 stroke crank and 6.8 rods, along with his custom JBP Ross pistons. It increases the displacement of the 455 engine. At the same time, the better rod angle, the rod-to-stroke ratio of 1.6:1, and the raised pin location in these custom pistons relieve the stress on the block. The higher pin pushes up on the piston instead of out on the skirt and results in less friction.
