428 cubic inch Cleveland engine kits are based on 4.125 bore engine block and a 4.000 stroker crankshaft. Larger camshafts and enhanced fuel systems are a good addition to complement the increased capability. Use of 4.125 (minimum) bore aftermarket block is required. Custom combinations are also available for specialized applications.
Flat top pistons in a 428 Cleveland Ford engine will generally provide compression ratios in the 12.1:1 range which makes them a good option for engines with aluminum heads and larger than stock camshafts. Valve reliefs are configured to work with most types of standard and aluminum cylinder heads and will normally fit camshafts to slightly over .700 valve lift.
