If you have stroked your 360 to a 408 please post your experiences here (power gains, drive ability, problems).

Thanks.

 

theres not many on here. I think theres one guy with one in his 4x and then theres RM_Indy, but he hasnt posted anything about it being done yet.

 

theres a few on another dodge forum that we arnt saposed to mention (the thing we do not speak of) if you PM me or email me i can forward you information..

shott8283@yahoo.com

 

what forum might that be? somebody informed, pm me I guess...

 

i would like a PM that speaks of nothing.....

 

I like this site better then "that other site" anyways. This site has less people and is a whole lot more personable.Although if I need real advice, and not alot of drama,I go to the other site. I'm Just kidding don't get mad.

 

lol..


im pissed now.. gonna come at you like a spyder monkey

 

You have a PM and Iceman you're dead.

 

I said I was just kidding. Come on I don't won't be dead. Think of my wife and children.

 

I have a 408ci Dakota R/T - use it on the street all the time, it's a lot of fun. I don't have any issues, but the cam is relatively mild (almost identical specs to KRC 408) so it doesn't irritate the PCM except for the occasional misfire code. When it really boils down to it, if all other parts were the same a 408 will post somewhat similar horsepower numbers to a 360 block, but it will have higher torque. The key is the overall picture - when most people have a 408 built, they're improving the parts throughout the engine - heads/cam, throttle body, intake manifold, headers, etc. and all of that stuff adds up. It's up to you whether you want to configure it for daily driving (mild cam/2bbl) or racing (aggressive cam/4bbl/big tb/etc.)

There's a decent amount of 408 Dakota R/T's out there, but most of them are on "other dakota sites".
