Stick a fork in it. All that is left is rebuild the starter once the kit comes next week and put the heater hose nipple. Need to customize the throttle and kickdown linkage but that can’t be done till it is back in place and bolted in. Customized four 1968 340 ignition wire brackets that Bill Allphin donated to work all the way around. Hope the doghouse clears. Needed to modify the throttle bell crank bracket as it bolts to the tab on the pre 1970 small block water pump. A plate, some tape, grinder and a welder and it is now for a magnum block.

Thanks to @Johnny Mac and Bluepoint for the 408 and answering my barrage of questions. Magnums (and Bluepoint strokers in particular) are a strange new world.

I'm extremely impressed with how well you hid the BluePrint 408 under all the OEM equipment. The kickdown linkage, throttle bracket, manifolds, etc. awesome!!! you did a great job!! That magnum hose angle is a little weird. we do put a single hose on it, and it's not my favorite thing, but it's functional. I have some Aluminum BPE magnum/LA hybrid heads on the design board, and they will have the true LA bolt pattern / intake. you handled that great thought. I appreciate the hard work and going with BluePrint!!
