Im debating on a couple things
one..going all out for a 460stroker..or just going ahead with a 416..
the question is...how hard is it to just do the 416..
i know how the motor comes apart as far as whats gettin bored etc..and that seems easy..obviously going to take the head off and the cylinder itself off(dont know the correct name)
but to install the actual piston...do u have to get it pressed on??..
do u have to remove the rod to do so or can u do it with the cylinder removed etc??..
just want a lil bit of info on the rebuild process of just adding a new bigger piston..
typically with cars(which is were i came from) you didnt just replace the piston..u removed the rods polished the crank got new rod bearings etc just to install new pistons...(maybe u didnt have to do all this but from what i heard from removin and pressin on the new piston it put a lot of stress on the rod/bearings and was better to just replace)
so plz...give me some info :D
