And so it begins....

I dropped off all my parts including the 408 that I bought this morning to get it built. Going with Ross custom pistons for about a 8.5:1 Compression ratio, eagle H beams, and Skat crank or the Mopar stroker crank. Also going to do a short fill on the block to keep it safe with a girdle. Should put down upwards of 500 horse with 8psi. Doing it with 39 lbs injectors from a ford cobra which are actually rated only at 39 psi so they are a larger injector. I am doing a full return system to keep it safe along with a methanol kit to keep temps down in the intake side. Over all it will be done right the first time. Probably going to get the tranny built and go with an 3000 API stall converter. What did I forget? Should take about 2 months since the pistons take a while to get.

Sounds like a good plan, tuning with SCT? Keep us posted on the progress :)

[ADakotaRTGuy]

Yup told him about the group buy and said he would give me a 50 dollar break on it. I will keep this thread updated.

So how much of that motor are you using???

No tacos? *sniff*

[ADakotaRTGuy]

Block may be trashed so just the crank and rods going to sell the pistons. I was there in the morning so I did not want to wake you haha.

[mtlcafan79]

Yikes. What's up with the block? Hope he cut you a deal. Yeah, I was pretty dysfunctional this morning until about 11 or so.

[ADakotaRTGuy]

Yes I got it for 1650 with the cam and an engine stand.

No it will take a while to build. He only has the engine and parts right now. I have the truck still. So when the engine is ready to go in I will drop off the truck. Should take a couple of months.
