Taking her apart

[Dritto]

I don't think anyone else is commenting because CJM has it covered, he hit the nail on the head. Nearly everyone on this forum has the exact setup CJM mentioned, including me, except I went with a 407 to have 2 more bores left.

Yeah, he's been a great help!

CJM, I've seen you prefer JE over Wiseco, do you think I'm better off with a JE piston?

I used 2 wiseco pistons on my 400, and 2 more on 2 other 400's. They arent bad pistons, but I feel JE or CP is overall better quality and have better features like they oil the wrist pin better and such. Its just personal preference really, just dont use junk like vertex or namura. Seen namura pistons fail all the time, they suck and vertex is not that great either.

Well well, I can't bore my cylinder in my country, because nobody does it. They replace the cylinders.

You can find cylinder kits around here or on some other websites if you can't get the boring done.

Ebay is a huge plus when searching for parts for 400exs. Just don't go namura because they're all over ebay and there's bad reviews of them. Also, if you want to go straight to a 416, don't be afraid to. You can find stock cylinders a dime a dozen on ebay. I went from my stock bore to a 426.

Stage 2 Hotcam is a yes. You'll like it. I know I did but I'm switching to a Web Cam since I drag race. CJM pretty much covered it all, but good luck on the build man.

If the motor doesn't need it I would suggest spending the money on suspension
