And so it begins...
 
nice, my 408 has a 4 inch stroke
your gonna love the torque
 
Here I was hoping for a Jeep build
Only thing better than a 4.0 would be a 4.25
what's the delta in cost?
 
Molnar crank & rods / balanced rotating assembly
Trickflow heads

more to come
 
Rods bearings are in, block has been rough honed and align honed.

New Molnar Crank, next step is to mock up to to determine how much the deck needs to be milled if any...

make sure you inspect that oilpan
milodon does not have a reputation for quality welds (something they blame on the EPA and their inability to test welds with oil)
 
Those windage studs are $61 for 4? Yikes, I can imagine how much money you got in this build already! Ill watch this build as Ill never be able to afford it. :thumbsup:

And finding those damn studs are near impossible. I now have 2 sets because Summit can’t follow simple directions.

Reminds me of a big 7 blade alum. fan I bought from jegs a long time ago , they kept sending me steel bladed fans , after 3 of them , I cancelled the order and asked for a shipping retun # , sent all three back and got my $$ back.
 
nice i have the same crank and rods in my 426 , what are the specs on the pistons ?

I like what you are doing there, I am working on similar build, you are ahead of me so I can get some pointers from you. Is that Howards a shelf cam or custom grind ?
 
It is a custom grind cam, and honestly I am not sure what grind the builder ordered we were talking about it Friday when it arrived at his shop, so I have yet to get all the specs hopefully in the next few days I will have the specs and I will share them when I get them.

one thing for sure you are using quality parts , should be a nice engine, wish i had gone with the Mahle pistons . Much lighter than the DSS pistons i'm using
