401M Overhaul Done
Finally got my 401M overhaul finished. Put on a couple hundred miles and all seems well.Ended up .030 bored,New pistons and rings,rod,main,and cam bearings.Ballanced the rotating assembly. 650 AVS2 Edelbrock carb and MSD ignition,keeping the points. 21/2 in exhaust with Jones turbine mufflers. I hope the tranny is going to hold. All I can say is WOW what a difference from the 305. It's got some burrs now. Dave

Re: 401M Overhaul Done
Sounds great that you are on the road again! Just wondering if you reground the cam to the specs you got from Big Block? When I rebuilt my 351M I had a new cam reground to the specs. Seems that the cam kicks in around 2500 rpm - never have had engine reach 3000 rpm so only have used a small power band. You don;t live to far from me - we probably have seen each other! good luck with your build.
