As luck would have it I picked up a 428 block and crank for a good price . So now I need to buy a set of pistons to suit the 6.7 rods and crank and a set of 6.625 bushed rods. It would seem we need check our parts as soon as we get them. In my case due to the currant exchange rate it’s quite an expensive exercise
X2 ! I have victimized myself so many times trying to get parts together ahead of time and things happen that change the plan.

And then there was the time I had a chance to buy some RPM rods and didn't do it, so it's a double edged sword.

Butler uses a 4" stroke with a 6.7" rod, and I'm fairly sure it's a 2.2" rod journal so they likely can get you some pistons that they are using in their custom production stroker kits.

Did you mean pistons to work with the 6.7" rods OR a set of stock sized rods to work with your stock pin height pistons ? You can get a set of stock sized Eagle rods for $370. https://butlerperformance.com/i-3164...tegory:1234812
