WOW what Tire are you turning? My old 89 350 Big Bear in the lower gears or in low range especially would snap all the axles off before it ran out of power to turn the wheels.

to turn 29's you'll need a lift too, or no fenders..lol

Piston, I'd look on ebay for a JE piston, if they make one for the 400 big bear, I'll do a lil checking
Cam go to the webcam site and get it from there, I've heard good reports on the mudbuster cam, but have no experience with it....
