FE Technical Forum / Re: Stroker 445 with 428CJ exhaust - worthwhile?
« on: May 01, 2021, 08:18:20 AM »
One way of looking at it is: To gain 30-40 hp out of a 390, a guy can add 55 cubic inches OR add nice set of headers.

Private Classifieds / Ross stroker pistons/pins
« on: February 02, 2021, 01:09:07 PM »
Bump **Photos added in post below.**
Barely used Ross forged flat-top pistons and pins. Used only for dyno break in and 3 pulls. Decided to replaced these with dished pistons to lower compression.
For use in a 428 block bored .032 over (i.e. 4.162" bore) and using 4.250 stroker crank with 6.700" rods (i.e. typical 428 stroker set up).
Here's basic info:
Intended block bore: 4.162" (428 bored .032 over)
compression height: 1.312
(My 428 block had deck height of 10.155 and this resulted in pistons .020" in the hole)
Weight of piston & pin (no rings): 588 grams
Set up for 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ring pack
These yielded 11:1 in my 428 engine with 10.155 deck height, 4.25 crank, 6.7 rods, 72cc iron CJ heads, .040 head gasket.
400.00 plus shipping from Texas.
Happy to provide additional info or text pictures.
Thanks
Adrian

I had similar situation and made a metal spacer using valve cover gasket as template. Final product sorts of looks like a partial valve cover gasket made of metal. My concern with the misalignment was potentially cracking my cast aluminum valve covers.
As i was hacking my way through the project, was thinking it might be a cool product for someone to offer (valve cover rail shims). Not much money in it but I darn sure woulda bought some if they were a thing.
