460?

so i wasnt paying attention and didnt notice that my connecting rod was bad b4 i bought my piston and bored it and what not stupid me so then since im going to have to split the case i thought since i have to do that i might as well make it worthwhile and get a stroker crank i know that if you get those you have to run the hot rods piston and put a new sleeve in but i was wanting to know can you run a normal 89mm sleeve then or do you have to by a sleeve from them

Any 440 sleeve should work to my knowledge.

thatz what i thought then i seen somebody on ebay say there was a specific sleeve you needed and i didnt believe but i wanted to make sure so i didnt have to spend more money

They have a specific sleeve for the 460 stroker that doesn't have the step in it where it goes into the crankcase I had to actually cut away some case to make it fit .....we tried the regular 440 sleeve and it cracked on the bottom where it was so thin

uggh damn more money i dont know if im even going to do it now but if it you did use the 440 sleeve where at did you have to cut it

I have had the regular 89mm sleeve in mine for the past 3 years with no problems.

400 ex cases are notorious for being out of round your supposed to have .020 gap between your sleeve and your case opening ,do a search before you build
