Hi Again,

Just a quick update.

Te dealer I bought the car off is willing to pay towards the cost of the rebuild so I need to work out the costs involved in converting from a 390 to a 428.

I assume that it involves boring to 4.13
putting in a 428 crank and pistons
replacing fly wheel with 428 version.

I beleve it should be possible to sleeve the block if it cannot go to 4.13 bore.

anything else I have forgotten?

Thanks

Paul
