New set of Kieth Black pistons for a 383 stroker engine. Pistons have never been in a running engine, but were installed to clearance the block for the 383 rods and crank. The compression ratio was going to be to high for the engine I wanted so I had different pistons installed. Piston Pins are included with the pistons.

$185 or best offer. New Price for these are $219.95 at summit racing. 642-5839, Jerry

Compression Ratios:
58-11.9
62-11.3
64-11.1
76-9.7

I havn't gotten my boat motor apart yet, but if the crank ends up being wiped I'm really leaning on the fence to build a 383 out of it. It has Vortec Heads on it that I believe are 76cc. These pistons use the 5.7 rods right? So all I would need is a stroker crank I'm thinking? Been a long time since I built a 383, and I used a 400 crank turned down with external balancer.

Yea, these pistons use a 5.7 rod. I believe the vortec heads are 64CC, I know the ones I used for my build were, don't know if there are different ones out there for the 350 sbc. Cranks are not to bad on price these days, Eagle sells some good ones.
