Need tips for 428 rebuild
By rhunt - 04/12/2004 5:25:53 PM; IP 162.39.117.27
I have a 428 that is in need of updating and I need to decide what parts I should use. I have located pistons listed for a 428, but I'm not sure if these are correct for my 428. The silvolite 1138 is supposed work and will make 10.3:1 compression. This seems too much to for everyday driving.

Keep in mind I am not looking to make an entire high performance update. I want more durable pistons and be able to run on pump gas. No drag strips are on the agenda for this engine since it is in a 1976 F100. Any tips for parts will be helpful
