i don't know if you already have your sleeve bored to a 426, but i have a sleeve bored to a 406 along with a wiseco 406 piston if your interested.

how much you asking??? really looking for a 426, but if your talking a bolt up, its a possibilty. that way have spare cyclinder. also, is it high comp???

i will let you have the sleeve and piston for $45 shipped. the piston has a few tanks of gas through it but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. you may want to hone the sleeve out to get the best ring seat. however, the sleeve is in excellent shape. remember, you will need to have this stock sleeve (which is bored for the 406) to be pressed in your cylinder.

sorry, i don't have a spare cylinder, just the sleeve. i am not sure what your were looking for. also, the compression is 10:1. by the way, we ran this piston with great success with the stage 2 hotcam. this piston pulls this high revving cam great. we have best luck with running hondabond on the base and a thin head gasket. this provides a higher compression ratio while giving a better flame travel across the top of the piston. let me know if you have any other questions.

by the way, i currently run a 426 and i can tell you that the 426 does get a bit hotter. the sad part about it is that it isn't that much quicker.
