Default I'm sofa king stupid/Pissed

I just found out that the pistons I have will not work with my 4'' crank. They tested one of them and it sticks out about 1/2 out of the hole. When I bought the pistons I was planning on using the stock crank and I thought just simply buying a 4'' would make it a 402. WRONG So now I either have to dish out $650 bucks for a new set of pistons or use the stock crank. To make matters worse spent the money I had on the stage 3 heads. This project is turning out to be a PITA

See if you can send the pistons back, if not sell them and get the right ones, dont ditch the 4" crank you will regret it.

Forged pistons for a stock crank should sell easily.

Probe forged pistons with 16cc dish, 4'' bore, for use with STOCK CRANK and 6.125 rods. I'll take a few pics and see If I can get at least some of my money back. I paid $500. I'll probably end up keeping the 4'' crank and selling the stock one.

HMMMm.... Let me call richard tommorow and ask a few questions. You may have just delayed my engine build more YOU *******!!!!!
If you decide to come off of them.

Man you could always sell those heads and buy a set of stock ls6 heads or somethin. Or even a mildly ported set. Make get some money back that way.
