RE: 406 cam?

If it was a 406 it was the same grind as used on 352-390HP. This is an excellent all around solid lifter cam that offers a very decent idle with strong perfomance to 6,000. If it was a 406 cam it would have to have been from an early '63 which ran the cam thrust plate retention system.

Another cam that works very well in the 428 is the factory equipped 427 cam, 306d/500L. This is the grind that FoMoCo ran in the '66 428 PI. The only factory solid liftered 428 was this engine. It idled well enough that most State Patrol/Police cars were equipped with C-6s.

And mounting your 428 to an engine stand...just make sure to use a plate that utilizes all the bell housing bolt holes. It also is important to have a high quality stand that will take the weight. Don't attempt to use the small ones offered at chain auto parts stores. Shop around for a stout one. Or have one made.
This thread, so far...
