Don't do it!!
By John - 06/11/2001 10:11:52 PM; IP 142.177.105.218
Please don't do it. What a travesty for us 428 and 410 owners...to see our coveted IU's used to stroke a 427. Don't you know that you're likely never to need the combination you're planning to build...revs?...go 427..hey use a 390 crank to save money...torque?...go 428...but to waste the hard to find, and getting more expensive when you do find, IU cranks,...egad!...Why don't you sell me that long stroke crank....I'll even trade....I'll buy you 427 pistons...even include rings if you're a haggler! OK, OK....I give in...name your price!....But, in all sincerity, I am thinking of giving up on the FE...the 428 crank is so hard to find and costs Mega$$ these days, and a 427 block which is probably already at 0.03 overbored probably doesn't have much of a life left. Dove is $ and doesn't have a good rep for the quality of their products. I did once get in touch with a billet crank manufacturer...lol...they wanted about $4K for set-up charges to make me one...not that I think they were over-charging for their required efforts, but just that I couldn't afford it. I really wish a good source for 428 cranks could be found, because there are a lot of 360/390 blocks still around, and a 410 engine is pretty darned good, plus it was a factory original...UNLIKE your PROPOSED combination. Whew!......think I made my point?
This thread, so far...
