410 Street Build

[410bruce]

Haven't done anything else to the 410 yet but I did replenish my big block inventory a little yesterday. Picked up a complete 460 and what I believe to be a 390. Could be a 360. Both were on a pallet just waiting for me to bring them home.
The 460 is a smogger, between a '79 and probably '82. The FE block is a date code of 2G13, C8AE-H heads, C5-G 4V intake. More than likely out of a truck as the clutch and flywheel are still attached.
The heads are much cleaner than the block and have one of those round thingies glued to them that shops apply after machine work.

A couple pics of the 390.




And one of the 460.



This post was more for refreshing my memory on how to post pics on this website.
I'll have more of the 410 as it goes together.

410bruce, I know it's probably too soon to tell but when you get a chance, let me know what condition that flywheel is in on the 390. I will be in the market for one in the not so distant future.

Will do, Skeeter.

Well, to put a cap on this thread, I sold all the 410 stuff. Needed to regain some capitol to put into the car itself--which you guys know needs a ton of work.
Still would like to build an all factory iron engine. Just not sure if it will be an FE, the 4V Cleveland or even the 289 that's in the car. If I do the 289, I will possibly spring for a set of good performance heads.

Thanks to those who responded here. As always, much appreciated.

Nah, it's not the coolest name but I was named after my dad, so I'm keeping it.

I know, I was kidding around. 

It's possible I still may end up with a 410. I have that engine pictured a few posts back, plus one more 428 crank. So, who knows.

Okay guys, kind of a strange turn of events.
 Some of you may know I started a thread on the other site about building a GT390 specification 390. Well, it has morphed into building it into a (loosely based) spec. NHRA legal 390GT engine. It has continued to morph and I will be using my spare 1U crank. Soooooooo.....back to building a 410. lol.
Since it will be a 410, I think I'll keep updates on the build here as well--if you're is interested. Maybe even if you aren't. 

So anyway, what I have now, is a standard bore '72 105 block that will be bored + .030, the 1U crank, stock rods, a custom hydraulic flat tappet cam and lifters, as well as the matching valve spring package from Brent, 428 Police Interceptor intake from werbyford and a set of C6AE-R heads I'm building from scratch. Will be doing some minor home porting on them. A nice set of Mercury script pentroof valve covers from 428kid will top it off.

I'm interested!

Well, cool! Thank you, Lou. 

Some goodies showed up from Brent. 

Also, ended up buying back a set of C6AE-R heads I sold last year, that I had previously bought from a forum member on here. They are the factory heads off of his 1967 Shelby GT500. They are set up with stainless CJ valves and dual springs. They only have a few hundred miles on them because unfortunately, he rebuilt the 428 and had a cylinder split. He built another engine and upgraded to different heads.
