Guest Anonymous Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hi Guys, just found a 1969 sbc 400 engine. is this crank worth buying? what kind of work do I need to do to make it work(383)? what numbers do I need to look for on the crank? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I would buy the whole engine and build a 406. If I didn`t already have a 383 nearly finished, I would do just that. It seems to be the way the masses are going these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Denny's right buy the whole motor, but if not buy the crank. but just make sure it is in good shape. How many times has it been turned? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Buy the whole motor and mage a long rod 406! Custom pistons and 5.7 rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I'd just go ahead and get the engine and do a 400. I'd use 6" rods though, to help with lowering the cylinder wall wear if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
