Thanks for all the replies. I had been thinking of going with the two row to start with. Judging from the opinions and experiences  I think I will try the two row.Thanks again

Need opinions on what radiator to buy. Looking at a 24 inch 2 row with 1 1/4 inch tubes or a 3 row with 3/4 inch tubes. both are aluminum. Which one would cool better. Both radiators are ACP's from CJ Pony parts. This is for a 69 mustang with a 462 stroker with aluminum heads and is a street driver. Beat on a little bit but never raced. Thanks for your help

I called Scat and visit with them on my problem. They indicated to me I need to go with a different piston when using this crank as the pin boss is to large on the older stock replacement TRWs. I asked why that wasn't that stated in the description of the crank as it does say stock replacement. Didn't have an answer . He indicated that he could either throw me a deal on pistons or give me a deal on a complete rotating assembly such as a 462 stroker for my trouble. He told me he would give me a complete balanced 462 kit for 1,488.00. Is this the way to go or should I buy pistons and have everything rebalanced and go that way. Sorry for all the questions just don't know which way to go.  Is the 462 a good combination for the street also would there be any block mods to do for clearances when using a stroker

What pistons would you recommend. The car really isn't going to be drove a lot but I would imagine when I do I will want to have a little fun with it. It is a .030 over 428 with a comp 280H cam and Edelbrock heads with a PI intake. I have owned the car since 1981 and thought I would be nice and give it an intire face lift as it used to be my only car . My problem I am not made of money and when this problem came about I felt like throwing in the towel. not really. lol I do want an engine that is dependable as I really don't want to pull the elephant back out again. Ever. That why I am looking to the professionals for options and opinions. Thanks again

I am new to the posting on this form but have been reading the topics for quit some time. Very interesting and helpful. Thank you. I have been restoring my 69 Mustang and decided to freshen the 428 as long as the car was apart. The crank ended up being in not so great shape it already had been cut .010 and .020 so I decided to go with a Scat crank. I had the machinist repair the oil slinger on the rear of the shaft as it hit the block as indicated by some other forum members. My problem now is the crankshaft throws hit the skirt on the pistons and also there is very little clearance from the crank throw to the bottom of the piston. The pistons are older TRW L2245. What are my options. Different pistons? Unsure what to do.
