Here it is....the 408's finally done
View attachment 1715053059
Mahle forged pistons sit in the hole .010 (hope I didn't screw up the quench), .027 mls gasket, 59cc closed chambers, 10:1 comp, Indy IMM heads, scat forged bottom end with Ibeams, and the above Hughes roller cam, rockers and retro roller lifters. Keeping my fingers crossed on the roller lifters....lots a horror stories out there. Don't really like the angle the push rods enter the lifter at either...pretty steep...seems like an opportunity for a bunch of side load. .060 shims on the rocker shaft to get a centered wipe...more than a 16th less than an 8th...3/32...nice. Should be close to 500 hp...we'll see what it does on the chassis dyno soon.
