RE: .060 over 406

It's important to have your block sonic checked for thickness and mapped too. I had a 391 block bored to 4.16 (.030 over 428) and it's still plenty thick enough for street driving. My block is a C6ME and is definitley a 391 cast in January, '67.

Your '67 390 rods/crank are fine to build a .060 over 406. There are a lot of piston manufacturers who will make the custom pistons you'll need. From what I've read here, they'll be forged and cost you around $600...? Not an expert on suppliers of 406 pistons.

You'll have a great engine.
This thread, so far...
