RE: what about a 406

It sounds like a good deal. I don't know a lot about the 406, but it should have HP cast in the side, and it may or may not have cross bolted mains. Remember, the 406's were the precursor to the 427.

Some 406's also got machined combustion chambers, while earlier heads had cast chambers. (I think)

Anyway, it has the same bore as 428's, so all you need is a 428 crank, and you have a cross-bolted 428.

Or, keep the 406 crank. Either way, it's a neat engine. Well worth the $600 if it's in decent shape.
