Was only interested in a convertible at the moment but thanks for thinking of me. GLWS OP

Sweet thanks! Sucks in the BB mounts, didn’t even catch that before on my car. Apparently I have a /6 K-Frame in the dart, I will start looking for a BB K-Frame to correct this problem.

I have 3 sets of motor mounts I’m trying to get ID’d #1 has nothing written on them except $15 lol. I think they are SB 340 mounts? 2nd set says SB E body 340/360? Are these different than the A body mounts? 3rd set- has A body BB tag on 1 and nothing written on the other but I assume they...

That’s what it seems like with the suggestions lol. Balanced kit is still 2-2.5k, unbalanced is about 1800, without any machine work. IMO the bores look good, looks like they were honed.

I’m not going to run iron heads. Those can keep sitting on the shelf, I’ll find a set of aluminum heads. No camshaft yet. I’ll check on distributor gear and see what I have in the boxes.

Yes no number, this started as a “I have a 408 ready to build in a box so let’s do it.” Now it seems like more work than that, I’ve already spent 500 in tools. I have a couple intakes, I’ll look and choose one. Probably flat tappet camshaft. SM seems to not have the CNC heads anymore unless I...

I definitely hear what you’re saying. I’ve read Mikes comments in threads multiple times in the past. I thought for some reason he didn’t have anything for the SM rockers, he may now it’s been a while. I have all the SM rockers, these DNA ones have the needle bearings I also have 1.5 and 1.6...

Yeah this is budget build because I figured I originally had all the parts and it could let me do it for ***** and giggles.

9:1-10:1 I believe is for pump 91-93 gas that I could get at the gas station.

This is my first time building an engine so the goal was to use what parts I had lying around. But my pistons are incorrect for the crankshaft. Goal - cheap 408 Build. Not trying to hit an ET or run a 1/4 mile time. I take my daughter to summer camp in it and drive the piss out of the car it...

Ok. So cheap caliper and pistons are saying it’s .030 over, which I’ll verify again with my bore gauge when it comes in. This is on 3 different cylinders. @junkyardhero sorry I was late on those pistons but I had to make sure the block was the right size before buying anything. I also got...

electronic or mechanical work better for a bore gauge. I already ordered micrometer and caliper. By the time I get to start knowing or doing anything I’ll of already spent 500 in tools. Lol

Since you have all the answers right now I have another question. My block says 4.010 + .01 but the box says 360 block .030 over and the KB190 +.030 pistons fit in the cylinder (no rings on them). Does this mean the cylinder walls are actually .030 over? I’ll verify in a couple days when my...

Looks to be close to 4.0 stroke unless I’m blind or doing it wrong….
