393 Windsor Build Part 5 OEM 351W Piston Rod Assembly Vs the 393W Stroker Piston Rod Assembly 

Great video. Thank you for posting! I had been using the fel pro tool and hammer like an idiot! 😂 I'm thinking of making a tool like yours out of an old flex plate i have laying around.

Cool to see an in depth 393 build. Seems like 408 is the norm. I’m currently building a393 of my own. Also in Montana and with an un heated garage, the struggle is real lol

El cambio de radio de la viela cambia de forma critica en esta configuración de stroker.. arme uno con pistones OEM y en 2 meses de uso desarme y lo pistones salieron fracturados..

You could just adjust the gap on the rings. That's what they did on horsepower TV build and they measured the drag. Couple thousandth on the gap cut the drag in half

I'm glad you brought up the piston ring thickness's and said to check before you order replacement rings if you are rebuilding your stock engine. From what I found out on Sealed Power catalog is the Compression height varies depending on your ring thickness. A 1.5mm ring thickness should have a 1.784" Compression Height and a 5/64"/2mm Ring should have a compression height of 1.765". Could you verify your CH on your piston?? Thank you.

You could have had a much better build using SBC rod journal size on the crank, matching rod and much shorter piston with a modern ring pack. The additional friction of those big rod bearings and rings create faster wear and higher oil temps as well. The 3.850 stroke, stock 351 rod, 302 piston combo was envisioned to be a cheap claimer IMCA engine package to pair up with N351 heads. Cheaper is not often better. I love a 393W, my early ones used 6.125 rods and 383 SBC pistons 🏁

Day, whose piston is it, and do you have a part number?
