406 engine

Hi all

I am new in 406 engine and recently I decide to order 406 rotating kit 3.75" crank shaft with 6" H beam conecting rod . Do I need to order low base circle camshaft to avoid hitting connecting rod with camshaft like 383 engine or normal base camshaft work fine.

That is the same as a standard 400 and should not require a small base circle.

It will require a smaller base circle or at the very least, take a pinch off 4 of the rods that interfere with the camshaft lobes, not all hit!. The 6 inch rod does not lay over enough to clear, some rod if mentioned are already set up for the strokers. make sure you check.
