Fe 410 bored to 428

[convincor]

360 uses a 1.759 piston height with a longer rod (6.54"), shorter stroke.

you need the shorter pin height 1.660 for the 410/428 crank

I thought the 410 was nothing more than a 390 block, using a 428 crank, 390 rods and 360 pistons.....all off the shelf items.........

it is all off the shelf parts. but they use the 390 truck piston which when run with the 390 crank keeps them deep in the hole and only about 8.2 to 1 compression.

o-k..........the reason I thought they used 360 pistons is years ago as in maybe 20 years ago, a buddy and I were on a "junk yard run" and came across a mercury station wagon with a 410 in it. Neither of us had seen one before and the owner would not sell him the motor, but did sell him the air cleaner assy. with the 410 decal on it.......

When he got home, he began researching the 410 motor and found they were 390's with a 428 crank and being he had a couple of 390 engines as well as a few old 360s, he decided to build a 410 for his 4x4 to replace the dead 360.....he found a good 428 crank and built the 410 using the best 8, 360 pistons out of the 16 he had.I do remember it having a lot of compression and he had to "de-tune" it some for pump gas, but he ran that motor for years in his old hunting 4x4 and it was a stump puller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not sure what if anything else he did to the motor to use the 360 pistons, it's been too long ago.......

Here's a site for FE engine specs:

410 is the same bore as 390 (4.05) with 3.98 stroke (428 crank)

I used Diamond on my build and was pleased with the quality.

The pistons you need will depend on your over-bore, and desired compression ratio etc. They do have some overstock which may be in the size you need and could save you some $$. If you contact them they will provide tech & purchase info.

take care,

My 410 has a C6ME block casting # and indeed came out of a Mercury Marauder.

Mine has the C6ME casting marks also, but came out of the Grand Marquix. I drove the boat home for $250.00 and then proceeded to part out almost everything. You dont find many 428 cranks for that kind of price these days.
