I bought this 428 about 6 years ago already machined , .30 over bore ,new pistons but they are cast and i will be ordering forged in the next couple of days
Crank has been turned .10 under . A new full set of 77 clevite bearings ,10 over rings fresh machined 428 CJ heads ,new valves and guides . And a full gasket set . I got the whole bundle for the whopping price of ...$1,200. Dollars!
Now the new pistons are going to cost a good $800. And I need a melling oil pump and a comp cams 280 H ..love that cam!
The block will need cleaning ,a bit of deburing and some other minor machining I can do my self ,but the cylinders will need to be honed and clearance for forged pistons and i want the rotating assembly balanced . I still need the cam ,oil pump and water pump .
Now ,I can't decide if it will go in my 69 Mach 1 ,or my 1956 ford fairlane ,it may not look it but the fairlane is just about dent free ,going to be a tough decision because I really want that fairlane running but the 69 is just begging for it!
