you can use 351C pistons, you just bush the rods for the pins.

There have been dozens if not hundreds of threads on pistons of all types for the 400 posted here. Please take a few minutes and use the search function in this forum and you will find more information than you can possibly use on the hunt for 400 pistons and who has used what to increase the compression ratio.

On some 351C forged pistons you can also drill out the pin bores to accept the larger 400 pins ( press-fit) I did a set of older Speed-pro's and the meat under the pin is only .013 less after drilling than a set of factory cast pistons

Maybe we need to find a few good informative threads about 400 pistons and post them in the "sticky" thread topic and make it "Forum guidelines and FAQ's"...

Do we have some likely candidates?

I would say that qualifies as a FAQ if there are ''...dozens if not hundreds of threads...''

i sent my reply in email. i thought i would take bills examples and take it off thread.

yes we do need to encourage the use of the search feature. we also need to encourage the use of search in a nice way. i have found out that a lot of older ones do not show in a search.
