408 Build Thread

I am off work today for a funeral, so I thought I would take the morning to run a trunk load of parts to the machine shop!!

I forget to mention earlier, but I bought a set of Melling hydraulic roller lifters and spider off of Ebay, and also the dog bones for them from Hughes. I am still waiting on the PP damper from Summit. It's supposed to ship 1/29.

While at the machine shop today I spoke with Doc about oil pans and I think we agreed that the Kevko M302 will be the best bet for what I am trying to do. I will get it and the pickup ordered when I get paid again at the end of the month.

Doc said that are finishing up two engines right now, a Hemi race engine and also a 440 Six-pack. They should be through with those in the next couple of weeks and they will get started on mine shortly afterwards.

Did you buy the lifters and spider for a Magnum 360? I have a 1989 LA 360 (now 408 ) that I'd like to convert to roller in the future but do not have the hardware.
