Very nice! I like the blacked out look. My short block will be all black and everything from there up will be aluminum.

My 408 is at the machine shop now also. They haven't done much except clean and measure my block so far. Are you going to break it in yourself? Mine will be dyno'd and tuned at the machine shop.

Unfortunately my guy got rid of his dyno after he did my last engine. So I do trust his expertise but I will have to do the break in. Then I will run it up the road to another shop and have them dyno tune the carb and timing, so I think I should be OK. Pre-prime the oil pump with the primer shaft and drill. Fire her up and run her at 2000 rpm for twenty minutes or so and I should be good to go, I HOPE.
