[Roadsters] long rod (r16) stroker

[Daryl Smith]

I keep hearing about it, but haven't heard any definitive information on the 
correct pistons to use.
The rod angles will be slightly smaller, but from my reading this will 
minimally affect power and torque.
The 280/300z pistons may however be cheaper than U20 pistons which may make 
it a more attractive option to some.......
