IIRC S&S used the same piston for several different strokes: shortest has loose quench, next is better, longest needs stroker plate.

Adds about 150cc with 4"9/16 KH crank or 4"5/8 S&S crank...

Needs a bit of relieving at rod notches on cases/cylinders and, as always, check rods not hitting each other at BDC...
