No, they are too small already. There is a Strokers group on Yahoo for 4.0s
that's a good source of info. Pistons are somewhat of an issue with this
conversion.

Re: Stroking the 4.0
I spoke with Hesco today. It seems (from them) I need to use 4.0 rods and
have them machined down to fit. From what I have read, I thought I could
use the rods with no mods to them.
Thanks for the Yahoo group about the stroker.
