pont stroking a 400 to 455
if i start with a pontiac 400 from a 78 T/A can i use the whole rotating assembly from a 455? or do i need to use the 455 rods with 400 pistons?

You need to have the 455 crank turned down to the 400 main size. Then you could bore the block to the 455 pistons stock being +.030" compasred to 400 bore. Then you could use the 455 rods and pistons.
