Hey guys, I am thinking about making the ex a 416 or maybe 425 (426). I have a few questions:
-What is the best kit for the price? I want to spend as little as possible...
-What is the best bore size/cam combination?
-How much have your kits cost?

I will most likely purchase the piston kit from Marcum's, and then buy a cam elsewhere (drop-in only!) I am also going to do all the work myself, including boring and honing. Thanks!

I would go with a 416 so if you ever have any Problems you still have one Bore left on your Stock Sleeve. The cheapest 416 Kit is the one from Marcum`s. You could also check out a TC 416 Piston and Cam. TC`s Piston Kit is $120 and his Cams are $179 or $209.
