http://www.rosspistons.com/bbford1.html to get Ross pistons they have them for the 410, or call Ford Power Parts at (562)921-5300 I think they have some in stock too

This is a copy of a post I made that shows what I was thinking of running for my 410:
"I'm curious if anyone feels like running these specs through a computer dyno if they want to.
PART # 33-781-8
GRIND NUMBER: FB 288R-10
ENGINE: FORD 390 - 428
INTAKE EXHAUST
VALVE ADJUSTMENT .020 .020
GROSS VALVE LIFT .633 .633
.015 TAPPET LIFT 288 288
VALVE TIMING OPEN CLOSE
AT .015 INT 38 BTDC 70 ABDC
EXH 78 BBDC 30 ATDC
THESE SPECS ARE FOR CAM INSTALLED
AT 106 INTAKE CENTER LINE
INTAKE EXHAUST
DURATION AT .050 244 244
LOBE LIFT .3666 .3666
LOBE SEPARATION 110

This would be for a 410 4.08 bore (.030 over) 3.98 stroke, Edelbrock heads (flow #'s for #6006 .100-88/64 .200-153/113 .300-195/148 .400-233/171 .500-265/183 .600-270/200) and Performer RPM intake, 10:1 compression with 1.625" primary headers 31 inch long if I remember my header specs right and dual 3" exhaust.
The carb would probably be a 750 Edelbrock or 735-750 Holley
The cam is a solid roller and I'm curious how good it would perform in a 410"

The computer dyno responses I got were:

I had one person vouch for each of those replies, one person had a 428 with CJ heads and his MPH in the 1/4 said 530hp

I think the Tri-power will hinder the top end as I have heard they run out of gusto at 5500-6000RPM but be good for the bottom end, what crane roller cam are you using? I'm thinking of switching to a hydraulic roller since I will drive it very often.
