Isnt a 400 crank longer than a windsor? Would you have to do any machining on the block? Would you use the 400 pistons or the windsor pistons?

never done the 400 with 400 pistons in a 351 W but why would you do all of this just use the 400 block ? you would use the piston for what ever head you end up with . the two i work with are C/ svo mains 2.750 windsor dart blocks thati will use a windsor heads with a scat cranks chevy rods. C heads could be used with the C typ custom pistons

Now, with those bolted on top of a Dart block having 4 bolt mains, then add a 3 piece valley girdle I think you'd end up with a real powerhouse (Trickflow's dyno showed like 540 horse and a bit more torque) as well as good longevity!!!! Oh yeah, did you notice the studs are 7/16" and not the usual 3/8" of the Windsor heads??

Sweet! Missed this thread, first the cobra heads, now these. It's a fun time to build(if you got the cash) The problem will be, if we can drive them when we're done on the street!

But then I've also got a dry sump pan for a Cleveland...(got that on a deal Pat Mac and I did together off eBay)... so maybe the new heads on a Cleveland stroker???? So, anyway need to get something of mine done and sold then start getting some of these new goodies and put together another big inch Blue Oval!!!!

Many moons ago, had a good machinist with a crank grinder used to make our stroker cranks for the Windsor's out of 400 cranks, then as Pat said use the Chevy rods and some custom pistons from Wiseco...

Did you destroke it, the 400 like Glidden did with the 351C?
