It has been a long 3 years of engine troubles...that are now coming to a close. The 408 has been completely disassembled and rebuilt by a true professional and is sitting in the Dyno shop as I write this. The poor thing has endured a lot and it is now time to see it shine. :)

For anyone who is free, the dyno party will commence at 11:00am Monday the 19th at Clegg Automotive Machine in Lindon.

Any guesses at what it will produce?

The highlights are:
Eagle 4" forged internally balanced crank
Scat forged I beam rods (to keep the weight down)
Mahle forged flat top pistons (to keep the weight down)
AFR 205 heads with 2.08"/1.6" valves
Comp Pro Magnum Rockers
Howard's Linked Bar Lifters
Custom Ed Curtis Billet Cam (.605" IN/.574" EX)
Fully Ported Edelbrock Air Gap Intake
QuickFuel Q-750-AN Carburetor

Don,

I had the number 542 to pop into my head. I hope you get what you want on the dyno. BTW, I like your choice of components. I would love a 363 version of your engine but then I would probably have to downsize a little on the heads. Good luck,

WEK.

Don-

She is truly beautiful! It would be sad if she didn't show you at least 500 HP.

Regardless of the result, she will look awesome in the engine bay.

I hope it goes great, and exceeds your expectations.

Regards,

Steve
