402 Experts... Tell me what you know
Huh! Well son of a biscuit. I looked everywhere and through every listing and couldn't find them for anything. Everything was for "396"-454 but had the 4.370" bore or was out of production. Great to learn new things, thank you very much Mark!- jeff406cid

402 Experts... Tell me what you know
I 've built small block 400's in the past and absolutely love them! Plenty of low-end torque with mild Cam and compression. Was able to push a 1970 Impala to low 13 documented with Time Slips and possibly high 12 after I did the last tweak but never got to the track. I'm building a 402 just...- jeff406cid

Who's worked with lead vs bondo?
I know they use brass as well for pinhole work. I saw them do it on American Hot Rod, Boyd Coddington shop as well as on on at least one other show. I'm sure it's much safer than working with lead.- jeff406cid

Direct drum explosion
It's always amazed me that the Turbo 400 direct drum is turning at 2.5 x speed of the input shaft in the opposite direction. That means at 5000 RPMs in a shift from 1st to 2nd that drum is turning 12,500 RPM, and has to be stopped dead to complete the 1 to 2 Shift!!!- jeff406cid

Rock Auto buyer beware

396 cam choice
God willing I should be getting lunati 10110 701 k Cam Kit. Spoke to Tech and they said no problem with my 8.5:1 402. The 10110700k would probably be slightly more streetable but what fun is that!!!- jeff406cid

700R4 help
I have to agree with our English mate that the 3-4 clutch is the weak link and this trans is on its way to becoming a 2 speed. Manually shift it from 2-3 and 3-4 and stretch it as long as you can.- jeff406cid
