I am interested in these pistons since they will work with the 1.90 intake valve. Will the stock rods need to be modified to support floating pins? Probably not worth the hassle if so.

For a 460. I've got one on the bench. I could pull my QH and read the bin, but is there any point/interest?

Thanks for that info! I ended up calling AFR and guy suggested the 165 intake runner head with the 1.900 intake valve. He said it would be better for a truck application and provide a bit more torque down low. Also no clearance issues. I got a pair of the smog approved afr-1472 for $1765 on Summit.

Planning on using the stock cam and scorpion 1.72 pedestal mount roller rockers. Should I buy new lifters for $100 or reuse? I will need new pushrods.

Block should just be a simple hone job. Will reuse stock pistons and rods if you guys think that is a good idea. Skirts look good.

Do you guys think I should jump on these?

Is the 2.020 intake valve an issue with stock pistons? Do you know if there is an aftermarket piston that will clear the larger valve? I am not sure if the larger intake valve is a good idea for low RPM performance anyway.

Yeah, I can't see putting the motor back in without at least reworking the stock heads, which would cost about half as much as aftermarket heads. Being in California I have limited options though. The Edelbrock 50 state legal heads are not available but it looks like I could get a pair of afrs for around 2K. I didn't look extensively into trickflow but do they have emissions complaint heads?

Another curve ball is, after further inspection this camshaft has some pitting on one of the lobes. I believe the motor that I pulled out has a roller cam so I'm going to inspect that one hopefully it's good enough to use. If not it doesn't appear that cams are readily available right now.

I'm not seeing anything cheaper than that. What new head would you recommend? Would be nice to keep pedestal mount rockers for simplicity. I'm not racing or anything.

These are in my area. What do you think? How much better than stock are these?

Thanks for the info. Yeah the inspection failed on bearings and a crank main was scored. Rod bearings were down to the copper. I didn't plan on going in this deep but it is cheap insurance getting a good crank.

I like your idea of reusing the pistons. The hyper pistons with coated skirt are only $16 for 30 thou over so that what I was thinking. $250 for the block work and hot tank but I'll think about just doing the minimum you suggested. I kept locations of lifters but didn't mark orientation, am I up a creek?

I'll see if I can find GT40 heads. Do they have smog ports in the rear?
