Info needed
Hey guys--
This forum is prominately mentioned in the article, so please let this notice stay.
I heard from the mag. The article (Life, and a truck named DD) should be at the news stands by mid April. It is going to be in True Blue Trucks, and, I believe, but am not certain, Bronco Driver. This forum made it, and my build, possible.
I am now working a follow up 'how to' article, concentrating on the 300. Since I am not an expert, I find I need a bit of help about something: why do so many builders use the 352, 390 pistons? Is it question of quality, larger bore, availability, cost, or all of the above?
Also, I desperately need photos of a 300 block with the 352 or 390 pistons in it. IM me and you may be in the Mag. Cheers.
Thanks for the help.
Kevin

A guy who went by the moniker 'slow' built a 300 for use with propane and swapped the 400 out of his dentside 4x4 and put that engine in. He used 352 pistons with the crowns milled to a zero deck and he had pics of his engine build. Even CC'd each valve relief in the post-milling 352 pistons (came to 4cc per relief he said) to make sure his compression was right. Anyway, he had a perfect picture of a headless block will milled 352 pistons installed. I've been searching for the last half hour trying to find that thread and I can't see it. I have tried fordsix (no Slow is registered there) and here (Slow is registered here but hasn't posted since 2008). Too bad, he would have the pictures you need. Good luck

TWO articles! neat. May B U can develop a column.
OK, April or May issue of True Blue Trucks. (BD comes to the house, #3 on - so that's all set). Thanks - that's the info asked 4/needed.
Enjoy the process.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll certainly try to contact him. (I hope this article (2) will increase the popularity of the inline, and make my parts less expensive!! Yeah!

lotsa luck, I've been saying that for 30 years, and the prices keep going up.
