		Check the classifieds. Often on eBay also.
  You need 410 pistons, a 410-428 crank and a 410-428 flywheel or flexplate.  
  You need a 410/428 crankshaft because the stroke on the 390 is 3.78 and the stroke on a 410/428 is 3.98.  You need a 410 or 428 flywheel or flexplate because the 390 is an internally balanced engine and the 410/428 is a externally balanced engine.  The rods are the same for both engines 390/410.
  The piston for the original 410 motor was also used in the 390 truck motor to lower the compression.  The 410 and 428 pistons have a 1.66 compression height – that's distance from the pin to top of piston.  The standard 390-406-427 compression height is 1.76.  
  All FE harmonic balancers are neutral balanced so they are not an issue.   |
