Default 428 bore

My first 428 was bored .060 and I had nothing but problems with it. Granted it was poorly built but from day one it ran hot. I think at .040 you will have to go to Keith Black Hyperutetic Pistons.

I have a friend here in Tulsa that still has a couple std bore 428 blocks as well as many other FE parts. Former racer wrench. I think he will sell one of his blocks for between $300 and $400. He also guarantees them to pass inspection. They will need to go through normal machine shop rebuild.

His name is Fred Webb and he can be reached at 918-266-5245.
