Default Re: Possible to bore 351E to use 401 Pistons?
Well finally going forward with my 351E (needed .060 over bore) - ended up buying another complete 351M - turned out 2 pistons was bad - looked for 2 more - found 6 new .030 pistons but had to buy the complete set. Ended up installing sleeves and taking the bore to .030 over on the 351E original engine. The Engine is now being assembled at engine shop. Have a question on the tack cable. The 351M had the drive assembly on the cam and I have an 3000 RPM Stewart Warner Tach that I want to use (install right side of speedometer in dash). I never plan on exceeding 3000 rpm so this tach will work fine - if I had a cable. Does anyone have any extras or know what ends I would need to have one made? The tach I believe has a .105 square female input and the screw cap connector is 5/8" x 18 thread. Any help would be appreciated! THANKS! MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
