compresion will be a problem 410 pistons are hard to come by you will want the lowest compresion 410 piston you can find and the largest chamber heads you can get these engines were made to run on a lot better gas than we get today

Large chamber heads like 427 LR w/ hard inserts, Silvolite pistons, internal balance so you can use any zero balance flywheel, this will save money for the balance, 390 rods w/ARP bolts. This will get you around 9.0 cr vs standard 410's 10.5 cr as todays gas is crap. I have over 250K miles and approaching 14 mpg if maturely driven.
