Bought some foam for my Le Mans convertible buckets from Ames a couple weeks ago. Ordered complete Legendary upholstery in Saddle at the same time, about an 8 month wait for that.

Drove my ‘64 Le Mans convertible with its new 421 HO out on the road for the first time in over a decade.

Going to wash it, insure it, register it and start driving it again. :)

Might even go crazy and buy a car cover for it, it’s a garage queen that never sits outside.

Absolutely not 421 pistons. The valve reliefs are completely different on a 421.

The valve reliefs and dish shown are what forged 428 replacement TRW/Sealed Power 12cc pistons all look like.

Standard bore size is 4.09375” for the 421.

4.120” is standard bore for the 428.

4.160” is +.040” for the 428 pistons so you’re poking that 421 .06625” over which seems excessive unless the...

Bust it open.

Order up a set of Ross or Icon custom forged pistons made to the compression height, dish volume and bore size you need.

I wouldn’t order them until the block...

It’s also possible to cut the wheel to drum or rotor mounting surface a little to tuck the wheels inward.

The first run E-heads used five different head bolt lengths unlike the later versions so that set of bolts will tell you right there without measuring anything.
