408 Build Thread

Doc from the machine shop called today and said that I need to bring the rest of my parts out to him, he's ready to start assembling the rest of the engine! The rotating assembly is balanced using no mallory metal or holes. He said that Pat was able to get it into balance by lightening the throws a little by grinding their edges. All of the head work is done and the intake is gasket matched. He hopes to have my engine assembled and on the dyno by next weekend (7-10 days). They've got a race Hemi on there now that they need to finish tuning first.

I'm going run the last load of parts out to him next week sometime and hopefully I'll be able to grab some pics while I'm out there.
