started frame off resto 68 442, the block was red but I think this should be bronze, 3.9 bore with #1 piston stamped 040 . steel forged crank in good shape but the pistons need replacement. Any thoughts on piston selection would be great, thanx and greetings from kootenay lake B.C
Sounds like a great project, post pics when you can and start a thread in the major builds/projects section so we can all follow along.

Welcome to the CO. Your engine would be metallic bronze if it is the 400. If it is a 455 from a H/O it would be red. And if was the 350 it would be gold. It sounds like your block has already been bored out .040 over, I would definitely take it to a reputable machine shop and have it checked out.
