GD you need to step away from the forums for a while lol...

 

Start googling for 408 magnum build threads. Then get ready to be single

 

Here is a thread just chock full of info on the build.

 

^ Yea, twas a good one. I learned a lot from it...

 

i want in on this one..... GD go to hughes engines, they have everything you will EVER need!

here you go GD!

 

I'd say start shopping, look for deals. Unless you want the bend over special.

I bought my Eagle forged stroker crank, Eagle H Beam rods, ARP main studs, ARP head studs and ARP rod bolts and forged JE pistons for 1K shipped...Even had a new JE piston because one was scuffed.

My Fastman ported Eddy heads were 1.5K, they make power past 6200 rpm, new Manley Nextek springs w/ titanium retainers shipped for 225.00.

Took me several years to gather parts...The machine work, balance and assembly of the short block was 1540.00, I did everything else.

It pays to shop...

 

So it is a matter of the rotating assembly, boring the block (how much?), cam, and I assume better heads...and of course nothing less than a Mega Viper behind it!

Anything else? I think I need to start figurine how much I need to put away each month to see if I need to do this.....

Holy bad word!!! That's a nutso good deal. How?

 

Killer deal....

I bought the whole 408 unassembled for 1500 shipped, block needed a sleeve so the seller didn't want to sell it, gave me 500 bucks back.

I scored a FAST XFI with all the harnesses and dual sync distributor for 1300 and a used 2 bbl M1.

Right now I'm trying to snipe a MSD two step off EBAY BUt people keep driving up the bids...I reall only want the plug, MSD doesn't just selll the plug...SCAM.

 

Dang. That's a hot 408 on the cheap. I hope I can find deals half as good as that when the time comes....
