#projectvertfish gets a 408 Magnum
I mated it to a TCI Street fighter 904 torque flight using a B&M flexplate made for the externally balance 99-03 magnum 360. I had to enlarge one hole on my lower crank pulley to get it to line up. Another thing was the need to use the bolt on timing mark pointer from my 273 and to make the new mark on the harmonic to match because I used the early style short water pump with the lower hose to the radiator on the driver's side.
Performance wise, it is tame enough to drive daily but has enough power to light the tires at any time. I am super happy overall.
Here is the dyno sheet
I went with the Blueprintengines stroker 408 based on the Magnum 360. Since it has a roller cam and rockers there is no worries about the cam going flat like with a flat tappet cam. I really like the version I got with a distributor and carb making sure the combo I have is how it was run on the dyno.
