I had never heard of a 410 either, but it sounds totally awesome. The story behind this engine is very interesting too; I'm looking forward to the updates!
And once again, Kenny, thank you for taking the time to continually update this thread with so many details and pics. I know I'm not alone in saying that many of us are thoroughly enjoying it. :)
Thank you, I appreciate that you follow my thread and I appreciate your comment.
I've know about 410s for years. I was in the automotive business most of my life and always been a Ford man.
I am very excited about the engine and looking forward to going and getting it next week.
He had it on Craig's List for about 4 weeks, all anybody wanted was the crankshaft and he said he was offered $1000 for it a few times but he wanted to keep all together. I was surprised that it was on there for that long.
The extra stoke was to try and get those big old Mercurys thru the intersecting before the light turned red again.
