273 Stroker for ***** and giggles

Why would the pistons for this build be any shorter than for any other LA build? Aren't the deck heights all the same?

And I get that this it isn't the only issue related to pistons, just don't see why the compression height seems to be a big part of the discussion.

I like the idea. I'd put a 3.58 crank in it just to keep it under square, make sure it has good compression and run it. I bet it would make good power and be better on gas than most other LA's. Maybe build it for some RPM to make up for being down on displacement but add EFI so it runs clean at low RPM. I could see it being a sweet little motor.
