I have a big heavy truck and it seems that I have a bent wrist pin, so... Do I freshen the bearings up and put forged pistons? OR do I bit the bullet and spend 4K on a 402 rotating assembly and machine work?

Would like to know any HP/Tq #'s of 402's in trucks! Also how high can I spin a 402 if I went that route?

Forged D.S.S pistons with X groove skirts are about 650$ with rings, so I could prolly go that route for about 1600-1800$

Any input is helpful and appreciated!

 

My 408 makes over 500 at the wheels and i spin it to 7k shift point

 

what heads?intake?cam? will u be using on this 402? most 6.0 guys see about an extra 30 to 40rwhp swapping there stuff over to a 402

 

It's a L76 6.0 with L92 heads, ported truck intake and 232-238 cam

 

Ill sell you a 34k mile 5.3 with a cam way cheaper than that

 

Why not consider another stock engine and Boost?

 

I say do the pistons and a blower. Save the 402 for the next build!

 

i'm kicking myself for selling that engine. it would have run good in my s10

 

Sry stu it runs good in my rcsb too when it has a good Tranny behind it lol

 

Dont get me wrong I would love a KB racing front mount but prolly won't ever happen! This truck is a DD! And I mean driven every single day!! It has 123,000 miles on it so the bottom could use freshning up! I do have a kit for the truck to spray a 150
