    Isnt a 400 crank longer than a windsor? Would you have to do any machining on the block? Would you use the 400 pistons or the windsor pistons?

    never done the 400 with 400 pistons in a 351 W but why would you do all of this just use the 400 block ? you would use the piston for what ever head you end up with . the two i work with are C/ svo mains 2.750 windsor dart blocks thati will use a windsor heads with a scat cranks chevy rods. C heads could be used with the C typ custom pistons

    Many moons ago, had a good machinist with a crank grinder used to make our stroker cranks for the Windsor's out of 400 cranks, then as Pat said use the Chevy rods and some custom pistons from Wiseco...
