408 Stroker Short Block Details: Blueprint Engines
I need some cliff notes. What is you time frame on getting this in the car? I by the way am a huge fan of using local business for what I need done in regards to any given project. However without those resources I trust and given other factors I do not have a problem with buying something like this..... In the end you are the one paying the bill and I bet when all is said and done your car will haul the mail....
Why did you choose the camshaft noted? With more cubes and good heads why not take advantage of it? I would need to go back through the thread and see your compression ratio but for entertainment spill the beans lol.....

Just a quick rundown on things initially. Started out doing a 360 shortblock from Carolina Machine Engines, were supposed to have cores, so went ahead and bought EQ magnum heads using standard size 1.92/1.62 valves, Hughes 1110 springs good up to .540 or so, dual plane, a 275/
[email protected]" Howards hft cam, and as yet to buy 1-5/8 headers or lijely stepped, and a Thermoquad. Got a 727, I did a 3.73 w/sure-grip change in my 8-3/4" 741 case. Plan was everyday, hot rod around, little bit of strip. So heads and valve parts down to CME so they could havthings ready when I came back to pickup the shortblock, almost two months pass, kinda got the delay run around, turns out they mistakenly thought they had an la core, But nope, so then I started looking locally, no dice, said **** it, got my heads, stewed a little, still looked for a core, no luck, found a few rusty in field engines, no way, thought more, decided that for the work involved, time, money, hassle, finding a Mopar knowledgeable shop, etc etc, **** it, get a stroker shortblock. Did endless research, read reviews, on and on, new plan, do the Blueprint, now find a slightly bigger cam that'll be good with what I already have. I was gonna go Bullet Cams, as they had lobes that they could have had put on a single pattern 106lsa, all the numbers perfect based on my readings, research, but they never got back to me, isky 280 mega on 106 lsa almost the same, gave up a little lift. CME mistake really threw it up in the air, so with too much time and going to the drag strip I want more!....Short story long:rolleyes:
