Allright fellas, I have done some research and I have decided to bore my 400ex to a 426. I am going to do the following while im in the engine: light to mid range port/polish, 11:1 wiseco piston, hevery duty head studs, and a stage 1 hotcams.
Can anyone else think of something that I am leaving out, or anything that I should do to prevent future problems, I haerd that I should put the heavy duty head studs in, due to the increase in compression.
Please let me know what you guys think as far as a power increase and feel free to tell me what else I can do when I'm in the engine.
I have general knowledge of how the engine operates and my cousin has installed plenty of pistons in his day, should my cousin and I try to tackle this ourselves (other than the boring of course), or should I leave this to an expert.
Last question...How hard is it to install a cam in a 400ex?
Thanks a head of time for all the input. :devil:
