Response to Performance Camshafts

 

Thanks again, Kultulz. I found a machine shop and they quoted a good price to regrind my cam. They will be doing the engine rebuild including over-boring. Speaking of boring, the psitions in a 430 is 4.3 and the pistons in a 462 is 4.38. Can I use the pistions from a 462? Also, the cranks on the 462 produce longer stroke. Can those cranks be used on a 430?

The engine is my focus on the Bird right now. Besides that, I already have the front end rebuilt, installed front disc brakes, installed Crane Hi-6 electronic igition, converted the 35 amp generator to a 135 amp alternator for the electronic ignition and electric fans.
