410 Street Build

[475fetoploader]

I have a 428 service block that I am considering selling. It’s .020 over at 4.155.  I took the minimum off to square deck it. About .006. It’s a nice sound block, not sure what it’s worth...

Werbyford, do you think a set of FT rams horns would hinder the breathing on the 410 build you outlined? I know there truck headers and need the crossover port plugged (easy to do), but it would make the swap easier in the latter chassie.  I` thinking of doing a 410 for my 64 F350 to tow with and don`t want to do tube headers. Rams horns were aviable for the y block and added some torque. I`m figuring it could help the 410.

Well, the block deal fell through.

Okay, looks like I'll be using the original C7ME-A block. It'll only be 10 or 12 cubic inches less than a 428 but it's still not a 428.
Not a lot of street cred associated with a 410. You know, when someone asks "What do you have in that thing?" A 428. "Sweet!" As opposed to: "What do you have in that thing?" A 410. "Oh. What's that?" lol. That's okay. I think she'll run good.

Ordered a cam and lifters from Brent. Also got a Performer RPM intake coming from him. Nice guy and a good deal. Thanks Brent!

After speaking with him for a bit, I decided to go with a hydraulic flat tappet as opposed to the hydraulic roller.

install 352 emblems and really surprise them . I have a 410/416 and there was a local 67 Fairlane 427 bone stock at a show and my friend asked what would happen if we raced ? I looked at him and said it would look like I had the 427 and he the a 390

Nice.

Well, dang it. Unfortunately I can't post pictures here anymore period, so I'm going to continue this build over at the other site. It was extremely tough to post pics at the beginning and now, for whatever reason, it's impossible. The smilies have never worked for me either.
It's probably something to do with my browser or PC but I'm tired of fighting with it.
Maybe I'll keep posting updates here, just no pics. I'll see what happens.

Thanks.

Testing.

put (IMG)   (/IMG) before and after your picture address but replace what I just posted there with brackets instead of parentheses (I did that to not confuse the website that I was posting a pic)

Thanks Ross, I tried but didn't work. Did I do it correctly?

Got it!  Thank you!

Well, haven't done much at all since receiving the parts from Brent. I did order some stuff from Summit yesterday--birthday presents to myself.  Connecting rods, bearings and timing set.
Still holding out hope for a 428 block before totally committing to the 410.

Been thinking of having the heads ported since I already have them but then again, a nice set of TFS aluminums would be sweet. If nothing else, for the weight savings, being this engine will be going in the '67 Cougar.

This is the car. Needs a ton of work. Has a 289 and 3-speed floor shift now. A toploader will be going behind the FE.

Thanks. Rust? Plenty for everyone! lol.
In front of and behind the rear wheel wells, all of the floor pans, rear window lower corners, the hood is junk, some shock tower crust.
I'll take care of it a little at a time. Do up the floor pans and engine bay first just to make it drivable. Paint will be last.
It isn't going to be a show car, just want a fun, reliable driver. So, will repair what's needed to make it drive and look decent.
