    I'm looking to get some forged pistons for a future blower project.
    I have a .060" over 330. That makes it a 341. So, 3.78" bore by 3.8" stroke.

    The con rods are 6.625" center to center.

    So that give me 8.525" with half the stroke and the con rod.

    If I know the deck height, I can scour piston catalogs and see if something off the shelf will work.

    Anyone know the deck height for a 1956 330 DeSoto hemi?

    Blower + boost + heavy foot + cast pistons = boom.

    10.375" deck height on the DeS 330. Thanks, HemiBill.

    Krooser, if I understand, you're saying DON'T DARE run anything less than forged, IF you're planning a blower.
