What they do is use a different length rod and move the wrist pin up further into the piston (damn near in the ring lands in some cases). But in a 393's case, you can use stock 351 rods and 302 pistons. This is because 302 pistons are shorter. This is just a nutshell version of it to make sense. Although, I may have confused you even more.

Great, got ya! totally makes sense.... im off to work guys! if anyone has any more suggestions, throw em in guys!......

cheers
