Bare Bones Budget 400 Build

I thought about it. I almost hit buy it now on some NOS forged 440 pistons that would have brought compression up out of the dismals, but that would sorta defeat the purpose, which is to show you can have something respectable in a stock stroke, stock compression 400. They really get a bad rap. When I'm done, it'll melt tires on command and idle in traffic all day. What more could you want?

Yeah really boil the hides & idle nice, street manners, I think those pistons would be still only around 9.6:1 so that's okay, I wouldn't use a small cam or you'll play ping pong, I almost bought those last year, but I'm stroking mine to 471. It was supposed to be a budget 451 but thangs change
