New 408 build finally started

Idaho said
Glad to see this as I'll be starting a 408 build before long. I have fair mechanical background, but this will be my first engine build. The part about "setting up thrust" is something I will have to research.
I have the book by Mopar Performance Parts on Magnum Engines, and an old one by Taylor/Hofer on rebuilding. Any others to recommend, or useful threads?
Thanks for posting your build up.

Go slow, ask questions, research, make it a FUN project, and with me 95% of the time I’m by myself. I concentrate way better that way. Here are a few I recommend that are always nearby.
