Alan,
That you use this piston for a stroker app. makes me wonder how it could
possibly work with a stock stroke. I would think that piston would be too
far down in the cylinder for my use.
Did you receive any specs with the pistons? Wrist pin location in relation
to the top of the piston would be very helpful.

standard length rods, wth the 1.500 compression height, a composite head
gasket, and the small chamber heads compression ratio will be almost 10:1.
Some of the other pistons listed are for Austrailian or German Ford motors,
in December these were not available.

Nv. They had a difficult time getting all eight of my pistons to me at the
same time. (The person in the warehouse was having a hard time
understanding why I wanted 8 pistons for a 6 cylinder motor.) First attempt
one piston was sent, Second attempt six were sent, one had a frozen wrist
pin. After the second attempt I talked to manager and explained what I
wanted, and to make things right he sent me a balanced set of pistons and
paid for all shipping costs.
