Can you use 428 pistons to acheive the 406?

By Joshua Carroll - 11/29/2001 1:30:27 PM; IP 158.52.254.238

I was doing some reading last night and do these guys really need custom 406 pistons? The 406 had an unusally large amount of deck clearance at TDC. Therefore, the pin position between a 406 piston and the 428 piston is a small difference like around .0065. Compare this to a 390 versus 410 which is around .2! Is the difference between a 406 and 428 piston negligible? I do not know but would like to know as I have a 406 and having a hell of a time finding 406 pistons at a reasonable price! I would rather not go the custom $800 route. Thanks. Just a thought. Maybe someone has tryed this before with or without success. I am sure all of us would like to know the results.

This thread, so far...
