Carl,
I stroked my 3.9 w/a 300 crank and used the Ford 255 pistons
(cast). You'll probably have to get your cylinders honed a little and
order the pistons oversized. D&D carries them, and they can probably be
ordered from any Silv-o-lite distributor. I don't know if the deck
hight will fork for your rods, though.
