I wish you luck... I think you'll probably do better!

What bore and stroke did you go with to get the 402? I know there's several ways to get there.

Cheers,

4 x 4 gives you the 402. 6.58 litres.

As Robert said, the easy math way - 4" bore x 4" stroke

Phil,

If my Learjet was not in service, I would fly right over there to check this out.....lol. Man, I wish I could be there to see and hear it. Best wishes, Craig =D>

Here is the new motor freshly installed in my 94:

I would like to especially thank two WAZOO brothers, Dempsey for help stabbing the motor back in (with headers bolted on the motor no less) and Rich for his help today buttoning everything back up and assisting with final checks and startup. The motor came right to life after a couple of short cranks however, it's making a noise at the flywheel end that sounds like rubbing sheet metal which started to fade after a couple minutes running . The rear crankshaft seal also seems to have developed a pretty good leak after just a few minutes running. Anyway had enough of it for today. Will tackle again tomorrow after work. First step will be to pull the transmission and flywheel back off to see what's up with the leaky seal. Then go from there on tracking down the source of the noise. I'm thinking (hoping) they are related.

Good luck... Hope it's not too big an issue...

Phil,just a couple of things to check usually when the freez plug is replaced/installed in the back of the crank it could leak have to use loctite 620.

Another could be if you line hone the motor the rear seal housing could be offcenter you might need to drill the screw holes one size bigger.

Most likely freez plug.
Nice job.
Pete
