I already have the 1.7s sitting around thats why i wanted to use them....i am having the motor built buy a buddy of mine who own mustang specialties down here in pompano beach fl....he does good work and has built a few la blocks i know of...i trust his work even though hes a ford guy lol....i am just trying to figure out this injector thing and now wondering if the cam/ rocker combo will be to big. then it will be on to the computer wooes
I think the stock injectors are good for up to 450 or so..... talk to the guy at Five-O motorsports. (another ford guy....) He should be able to set you right up.
As for engine management, As opposed to sending your PCM out to be tuned several times (at 250 bucks a pop......), might consider a standalone system..... and bypass it completely. (PM Hahn's5.2 for additional info on that....)

Hey you, I know I mentioned five o in the past. But I would recommend:
Fuelinjectorconnection.com
Some people from Cali have told me things about Five0 that are not so good. Like the injectors are sold as new but they are reman. So you pay new price. I paid 285 for my 24s and I had to talk him down.
Besides, you don't want to talk to a ford guy about fuel injectors because of the rating. Fords run at 39.5-43 PSI and we run at 49-50 PSI. So a 24# inector will rate at about 26# on our trucks.
Although, I would think that the blue demon 24# injectors would work with a 408. Maybe 36#. Ask the guy at FIC. He knows his stuff and has vids on youtube

Be careful when looking at M1s, often the pictures will show a 2bbl but it's a 4bbl part number, the 4bbls are a lot cheaper than the 2bbls. Then again a 4bbl should be fine on a 408. Just look out for used ones, they're a lot cheaper than new.

Time to invest ALOT of money in that block! 
This is only the beginning
I PM'd you, let me know if you have any further questions.
Eagle cranks are NO GOOD. There are plenty of dakota guys that will concur. They like to break in half.
Be careful there are two versions of the 4bbl M1, one for the Magnums, and another for the LA. You shouldn't be buying a 4bbl anyway...

Yeah, but then you need to buy the adapter to use the stock (or stock style) throttle body. The two barrel feller, it just bolts right on.
