I have the opportunity to build a 327 small journal block with a 283 crank but I don't believe I can use a regular 327 piston in this scenario. I'm not a machinest but I believe the 302 piston has a bit of a lower pin placement because of the shorter throw of the 283 crank to allow the tops of the pistons to get to the tops of the cylinder for decent combustion. Any info and specs would be greatly appreciated - and is there other ways of using the above combinations. I see that 302 pistons are roughly twice that of 327's. Thanks. Wally
