Just for laughs 150.00$ 1967 383

Maybe, but those 440-6 rods are only .410" longer and a helluva lot stronger. The pistons will have a compression height shorter by the same amount so probably pretty close to a wash on balance but definitely needs to be checked. Pistons are available for stock stroke 383 with 440 rods. If you had a 440 crank to turn the mains and counter weights, Low deck 426 or 431 with a .030 overbore in a 383 wrapper. Good rod to stroke ratio and compression height for longevity. Just food for thought.

I'll second moper's assertion...

Furthermore, the weight difference is 7oz between the 383 and 6 pack rods...that's nearly 200 grams per rod, so the piston would have to weigh 200 grams less than a stock piston unless you wanna start adding some metal to the crank...
