Overview:
The DSS Racing 6.1 Stroker Small Block Mopar Hemi Gen III FX Series Forged Piston Set is engineered for enthusiasts and builders seeking durable, high-performance pistons tailored specifically for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram 6.1L SRT8 engines. Designed to accommodate the 420ci Small Block Mopar Hemi Gen III with a 4.050" stroke and 6.125" rod length, these pistons deliver reliable strength and precision fitment for stroker builds and performance upgrades.
Ideal for street performance, track applications, and serious rebuilds, this piston set offers enhanced durability and improved combustion efficiency, supporting higher compression ratios and aggressive tuning without compromising engine longevity.
Key Features:
These forged pistons incorporate advanced design elements and manufacturing techniques to ensure optimal performance and reliability:
- Compatible with 6.1L SRT8 engines from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram
- Forged construction for superior strength and resistance to high-stress conditions
- Comp height of 1.09" for precise deck clearance and piston-to-head fitment
- 18cc dish top design to optimize combustion chamber volume and compression ratio
- .927" wrist pin diameter with options for full-floating or press-fit configurations
- Ring groove dimensions: 1.2mm top and second rings, 3mm oil ring for effective sealing
- Designed for a 4.050" stroke and 6.125" connecting rod length, ideal for stroker builds
- Available in multiple dish volumes to achieve approximate compression ratios of 10.41:1 (65cc), 9.56:1 (74cc), and 8.72:1 (85cc)
Construction & Design:
DSS Racing pistons are crafted from high-quality forged aluminum alloy, providing an excellent balance of lightweight strength and thermal conductivity. The forging process enhances grain structure, resulting in pistons that withstand the rigors of high-performance and forced induction applications. The dish top design reduces detonation risk while allowing flexibility in compression ratio tuning.
Precision machining ensures tight tolerances for wrist pin fitment and ring grooves, promoting consistent sealing and reduced friction. The option for full-floating or press-fit wrist pins allows customization based on engine build preferences and durability requirements.
Installation & Fitment:
This piston set is designed to fit most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram 6.1L SRT8 engines equipped with the Small Block Mopar Hemi Gen III platform. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures, including proper ring end gap setting, wrist pin installation, and piston orientation. Due to the stroker configuration and specific piston dimensions, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal clearances and engine performance.
What's Included:
- Set of forged pistons (quantity as per engine requirements)
- Wrist pins (full-floating or press-fit options depending on SKU)
- Piston rings with specified groove dimensions
- Installation instructions and technical specifications
Ideal For:
This piston set is perfect for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers upgrading or rebuilding 6.1L SRT8 engines who demand enhanced strength, reliability, and tuning flexibility. Whether building a stroker motor for street, strip, or track use, these pistons provide a solid foundation for increased power and durability.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
