    Safest bet is to just look for an engine with 475hp or higher. Unless its like a 435 rated C15 then that would have steel pistons.

    So any 3406E rated 475hp max on the valve cover would be easily upgraded power wise?

    Well that makes it a lot easier for me to browse listings to find one! Getting the serials was starting to be a pain. This way I know I'll get closer to what I need...and thanks!
