410...great engine....lots of torgue...good for the street...FPP makes pistons for 9.5 CR...right where you want it...I think it's based on 72cc chambers...BUT...good luck getting them, or any 410 piston that's based on the 390 bore and the 428 stroke. Don't bore a 390 block as a 428...I am meaning to check into this more, but I have never got the cylinder wall thickness claimed by others when they do this...and I'm not talking about offset boring to compensate for 1 thin side...just 0.090 seems to ring a bell as typical, and 0.125 should be the minimum that isn't even the thickness for the original factory bore. Except for locating pistons, this block makes sense...428 crank(a little hard to find) and a 390 block(easy to find)...excellent street torque...damned fine motor I think |
