I am looking to turn my 08 400ex into a 460 stroker using the Trinity Racing kit. I plan on using the 11:1 piston which I was told by Trinity would actually be closer to 11.5:1. They tell me that it will run on 93 pump gas but I'm a little concerned as I heard 11:1 is about as high as you can go. What do you think? How high to go with pump gas?
Now to the real question, I what to build as much reliability into it a possible and I 'm not looking for the highest hp machine out there, here is what I'm thinking, it may be overkill but I would like it to be as close to stock reliability as possible. By the way I have doing a lot of reading on the boards so I hope I have everything right. Please tell me what you think.
With the Trinity 460 kit I will add:
HD head studs
Earls 7.75x8.25x2 oil cooler setup like fst kit
HD timing chain
Cryo Treat whole engine and transmission
Edelbrock 440 Carb
minor port and polish
kibble valves and springs
mild cam (not sure what yet)
Curtis sparks intake kit and x-6 exhaust
Curtis Sparks clutch kit
ens air box lid
Do you Think this will be reliable? Any suggestions? People 440's, 500's, and other big bores who have had them for a long time what problems have you had?
