With a pin half way into your pistons and half into a stock piston, compare distances to the top of the piston, not the bottom as pictured. I believe the stock height is 1.906". If my measurement is right, your pistons are for a stroker crank. Double check everything. Cutting the rods as I mentioned will not affect rod strength as there is nothing out there connected to the beam section.
Hey Jim,
Thanks much for all your input, very helpful !
Checked as you suggested. BOTH have the stock compression height distance of 1.90625, as you stated ! Well, wasn't thinking of stroker crank project, but might be fun down the road.
I was thinking on what Pete said...about cost of alterations and that that can be done to lighten these Ross pistons. Just of fun, I came up with (maybe) something along the lines of what Pete was thinking. See photo attached of marker piston. This would certainly lighten them , eh !
Nice to have options, eh ! I will explore a light weight set of Ross/etc..
