409 blower intake
- Thread starter MRHP
- Start date
Hang in there. I remember it seeming like such a long wait even though they got here when he said they would. Took about 2 months or so I think. Who'd have known that I'd find a great used set from Dan (Ishiftem) about a year later for less than half the cost? Maybe I should have just waited on the pistons and bought the other parts? Things never work out like that though. It'll all work out in the end. Hopefully the end is near for one of them.
I'm surprised they needed an exhaust relief with that small of a dome. Not sure if it's just the pictures but they almost look like a "flattop" piston. Will be great for that blown W
Still MUCH lighter than a stock one.
You'll be fine Brian,especially with the rod you're going to use.Most "Endurance" type engines use a somewhat heavier piston for long term durability anyway,and with the extra cylinder pressure from the blower,that's what I'd want.What alloy is that piston,2618 or 4032?
