    New 408 build finally started

    What a shame, I was looking forward to seeing this finished. There sure is a lot of work relocating the pushrods. I don't think the money/time spent was worth the gain for me but we didn't go overboard with porting as mine is a streeter that will occasionally see the track. Really enjoy your...

    New 408 build finally started

    Sorry I failed to mention mine is a street solid so probably less spring pressure than yours. 268/274

    New 408 build finally started

    My engine builder used the Hughes rockers to suit the relocated pushrods. Seemed to work ok .680 solid roller. So far so good

    Solid roller lifter choice?

    Not sure of part number. They were bushed and .180 offset for inlet

    Carb for 408

    I ran a custom 750 holley on my 565hp 408 and it was perfect. I now have an 850QF on it making 600hp with bigger cam and better heads Made an extra 9hp with a 950QF but lost too much torque

    OIL MODS

    Crossing the line at around 7000rpm. But with better heads and larger solid roller it will rpm a little higher I assume The bottom end is apart so I want to spend money now and make sure it's the best it can be. Don't want to pull the engine again

    OIL MODS

    Hi All, I'm looking for advice to make my small block stroker last with the odd blast to 7500rpm over the 1/4 mile. I've looked through the post from Guitar Jones. Is there anymore to be added? Did 3 runs last year and ended up doing in number 8 bearing crossing the line just over 7000rpm I...

    Head Studs

    No there is no confusion. We were doing both. Moving the pushrods over was a decent gain but we are trying for as much possible.
