@@kvngmo6305 I knew it was in reverse but I honestly didn't even catch what was going on with the water spot on the ground. He could have hid that by making the sidewalk completely wet before filming.
Our wives are troopers for putting up with our smoke in the garage! One suggestion if you haven't yet - get a fire extinguisher and keep it handy for these things. You could have easily burned it (and your house) to the ground. You don't want to be that guy on the internet!!! Congrats on getting it running.

From the 040 on the top of the pistons and the siamesed cylinders with steam holes it's actually a 410 a 40 overbored 400 and it's probably used up if there is any damage to the cylinder walls 40 over is about the limit for a stock block 400 the cylinder walls are usually not thick enough to go past 40 over
@@actiontovalue You can pry it, but you run the risk of making an indentation if you do it right at the intake port. I wouldn't want to risk any kind of compromising of the gasket mating surface around the ports.
So a large piece brakes off doesn't contact that cylinders head but some how makes it past the valve and back into motor but in a diffract cylinder chews up the piston a little bit? If someone could show me how that can happen I'm all ears.
The steam holes between cylinders about 3/16 inch. And you have one with 3 soft plugs per side. Only the 400 small block had those. They were one per side were eliminated sometime later in the 400s life time
400 had a 4 125 bore and 3 3/4 inch stroke 350 had a 4 inch bore and a 3 1/2 inch stroke with the 040 on top of the pistons it should measure 4.165 if it is a 400 and 4.030 if it is a 350
