As you guys likely were following, my 445 had some bad machining done (no torque plate) and had some piston slap. I haven't decided on a plan yet, but I am either going to get a 428 and stroke it to 462, or just fit a set of .040 pistons to by current block with proper machining this time. Either way, I have a set of Probe Sportsman Racing pistons and pins left over. Very little mileage and never run hard, looking for 350.00 plus the ride, these were a 550 dollar set of pistons when purchased. They are 14785 +.030, 17.5 cc reverse dome, 2618 alloy. A good set of stroker pistons for a 6.7 BBC rod and a 4.25 stroke for about 10:1 compression depending on deck height, head gasket and chamber size.

I have a Taurus 3G, which is the smaller case that is easy to use on an FE, along with a mega fuse holder, a mega fuse (100A), and the field/stator wiring harness to splice in, all new. This is a new alternator, still in the box. Easily convert your car to a newer high output alternator. Wiring diagrams all over the web. 80 bucks plus the ride for the new alternator, mega fuse, fuse holder/mounting bracket and harness)
